Wording for a binding employment contract for ex-cons and employers?

Question

I am seriously thinking of starting an employment agency to help ex-cons find gainfull employment. There would need to be a tough and binding contract that the ex-con agrees to and signs that states that they know their employment is contengent on full obedience of all laws and that the slightest violation of law can result in termination without recourse.

I also would want the prospective employers to agree that they cannot exclude any type of crime unless it has a direct impact on the type of work the ex-con would be doing. For example, a bank robber could not work with money, a child molester could not work around children.

Can anyone here help me with the wording of these things?

Answer 1

I doubt you could enforce the restriction on employers by an means beyond not working with them. If this clause is an issue, they don't want to work with you anyway. As for the ex-cons, just state that "The applicant agrees that ANY violation of any law, Federal, state, or local, is a violation of this contract and may result in immediate termination."
