As a result of the agreement, the company will consult with an independent third party regarding changes in Target’s hiring practices, including generating a list of criminal convictions unrelated to work at Target and, as such, will not disqualify a candidate from employment.
Those denied employment due to their responses on criminal background checks dating back to May of 2006 will be given first dibs on interviewing for open jobs, or may seek a financial reward of up to $1,000.
