Universal Citation: 101 MA Code of Regs 101.15

Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(1) A hiring authority will complete a CORI investigation only after determining that the person is otherwise qualified for employment and making a conditional offer of employment to a candidate, subject to consideration of any criminal record.

(2) The hiring authority will confirm an offer only after the hiring authority receives written confirmation that the criminal record investigation has resulted in a finding of "no record" or the hiring authority has complied with the requirements of 101 CMR 15.07, 15.08, and 15.09. The hiring authority will not permit any candidate to commence employment until after the candidate is cleared as a result of the CORI investigation in accordance with 101 CMR 15.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pending the candidate being cleared, the hiring authority may permit the candidate to commence employment on a temporary basis in a position outside the scope of 101CMR 15.03(1).

(3) All CORI investigations that result in a finding of "no record" are transmitted back to the hiring authority and provide sufficient evidence of suitability for hire for 60 business days. A "no record" finding may be valid for consideration for other positions during such 60 days.

(4) All CORI investigations that show findings of criminal records are sent immediately to the hiring authority for review and action consistent with 101 CMR 15.00.
