FAIR CHANCE POLICY


Tanger is committed to fair- hiring practices which remove unfair barriers to employment. As such, unless otherwise required by law, Tanger will not ask questions regarding previous criminal convictions on an initial job application. Conviction inquiries will not be made until a conditional offer of employment has been extended to a candidate.

With a conditional offer of employment, Tanger may request and conduct a background check including a search of criminal records. Whether or not a background check is conducted will depend upon whether, in Tanger’s good faith determination, the relevant position is of such a nature that a background check is warranted.

If a background check reveals an applicant has a criminal record, the following factors will be considered: (1) the nature of the conviction; (2) the direct relationship of the conviction to the job; (3) rehabilitation and good conduct; and (4) the amount of time which has elapsed since the conviction. The following records shall not be considered in the hiring process even if revealed in a background check: (1) records of arrest not followed by a valid conviction; (2) sealed, dismissed, or expunged convictions; (3) misdemeanor convictions where no jail sentence can be imposed; or (4) minor infractions. A conviction will not automatically disqualify a candidate from employment. Tanger will conduct an individualized assessment of the applicant.

In the event that a background check is conducted which discloses a criminal conviction which would disqualify a candidate from employment, a copy of the report shall be provided to the applicant along with a written explanation as to which conviction item(s) would be the basis for the potential adverse action. The applicant shall then have ten (10) business days in which to respond to Tanger concerning the report. An applicant’s response may include, but not be limited to: (1) evidence that the report is incorrect and (2) evidence of mitigation or rehabilitation. Tanger shall hold the position open and not make a final employment decision until it considers the information submitted by the applicant. Information submitted by an applicant after the ten (10) day period may be considered in Tanger’s discretion. Any information pertaining to an applicant’s background check obtained in conjunction with the hiring process shall be kept confidential, and shall not be used, distributed or disseminated by Tanger to any other individual or entity except as required by law.
