Amazon determined after a background check that Franklin had lied on his April 2019 job application by answering "no" when asked if he had a criminal record.

New York law bars employers from rejecting job applicants based on their criminal histories unless the crimes relate directly to the jobs sought, or hirings would pose an unreasonable risk to the public.

Without ruling on the merits, Caproni said the defendants failed to show that either exception applied, adding that Franklin "has adequately alleged that he is rehabilitated and no longer poses a threat to the public."

According to the article. You can lie about your criminal record on your application but it's illegal to hold anyone accountable for it.

Surely Amazon's defence here is pretty straightforward - his application was rejected not on the basis of his past conduct, but on the basis that he made false representations during the interview and as a result there was a breakdown of trust?

Then again, I didn't read the article :chad:
