Employers often use the Wisconsin CCAP to see if a job candidate has a criminal record. Criminal convictions are easy to look up in this criminal record system. It is important to hire an attorney to defend you against charges filed, so they don’t show up on your record.
In Wisconsin, there are restrictions on what employers are allowed to consider in making hiring decisions. In practice, however, many business owners and human resource specialists know about Wisconsin CCAP (short for the Consolidated Court Automations Programs case management system) and use it to see if a job candidate has a criminal record.
No matter what the letter of the law says, you can bet that anyone who makes interviewing and hiring decisions will access CCAP before choosing who to interview. With criminal convictions so easy to look up, it behooves you to do everything possible to defend yourself against any charges filed against you.
