We can even check references. Including these options on your background check in Hawaii gives you and your business the protection it deserves and the knowledge that you are hiring honest, qualified candidates.

Background Check Laws that Safeguard Employers in the State of Hawaii
One of the issues that many employers have with background check legislation is that it can change frequently. Hawaii was the first state to enact ban-the-box legislation in 1998, and since then legislation like December 2018's federal First Step Act has impacted how both public and private employers in the Aloha State hire and promote their staff.
As per Hawaii's Fair Chance Law (the formal name of their state-wide ban-the-box law), employers may only conduct a background check on an applicant after a conditional offer of employment has been extended. If a past criminal conviction appears on their record, employers should carefully consider whether "the conviction record bears a rational relationship to duties and responsibilities of that position" before withdrawing their offer of employment.
Prior to the passage of this law, employers were able to consider arrests as well as court records in their decision-making process. Now, convictions that have occurred within the last 10 years are the only records that employers can consider during a background check. If the conviction resulted in a period of incarceration, the time spent in incarceration may still be considered by the employer if it's within the 10 year period – even if the actual conviction falls outside of this period.
While private employers may choose not to conduct background checks during the hiring process, Hawaii's state law mandates background checks before employment can commence when the applicant is working in a school, in a financial institution, or in security.
