Does the bill create a registry of employers who come to interviews they schedule unprepared?
Does the bill create a registry of employers who have jobs listed that they aren't actively hiring for wasting applicants time?
Does the bill create a requirement to post the hiring wage range so as not to waste everyone's time?
Unilateralism is fascism.
Does the bill create a requirement to post the hiring wage range so as not to waste everyone’s time?
Hey, we're going to have that in the EU starting next year
How about interviewers who ghost applicants? I have literally been sat in an office for an hour and a half, with nobody telling me what's going on before I got told "oh that interviewer isn't in today, I'm not sure why he scheduled you."
I had one that "got pulled into a meeting". Um, she had a meeting, with me!
I was eventually offered the job two or three weeks later, which I declined. In that time I had accepted a position with a company that had their shit together. This one had the nerve to ask "When were you going to tell us?" after ghosting me for weeks! I said, "I just did.".
Jesus. Fuck Ohio. What about a registry of companies found guilty of wage theft?
Uppity slave register, United States of America, 2025.
Don't wanna make a registry of gun owners though.
Well, that would just be impractical, right??? I mean what purpose could there be in a register of people with the actual weapons, constitutionally-protected or not, that are most often used to murder dozens of people in a single sitting?
Next you’ll be wanting to use that registry to make sure that certifiable crazy people can’t get a modified semi-automatic rifle and possibly attempt to keep people safe. What use could that bring?!?
Will that include the legislators that sleep or don't show up to work/votes?
first of all, unemployment benefits should not be tied to you showing up to a job interview because usually it follows that if offered the job you must accept if you can. so, you basically have no agency and have to take whatever shit job offered. if i get a red flag or otherwise don’t to commit to an interview i do not owe the company or its workers my notice. i will make the effort if i choose to but me being a dick shouldn’t make me lose my benefits.
anyway, fuck this registry.
Can we get a registry of people who have wealth in excess of a million dollars?
To be fair if you own a 800 square foot condo that you bought 25-30 years ago for less than 100k in a city you most likely have a million dollars of wealth…
Literally anyone who contributed to a retirement account for a while?
Ohio not beating the allegations
Literally the worst state
Florida and Texas would like a word. Also, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Wouldn't this be super exploitable? What's to stop me from setting up a bot that auto-applies to tons of jobs on behalf of people I don't like, thus making them "skip" whatever interviews come out of that?
Amazing how many Ohio state reps are looking for work right now, but not showing up to any interviews..
Small government Republicans, eh?
How about cops who beat people first.
Somewhere between 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 jobs aren't real.
The disagreeing congressmembers should just tack on that if people are put in lists because they are required to show up to interviews that all interviews must be paid, and any any job found to be fake or misrepresenting a job lead that does not exist should have to pay each person who applied a fine of $100,000 and up to 1 year in prison like the law is for pirating a movie. Watching a digital copy of a movie that doesn't exist is surely not worse than dangling people's means of survival on a stick and trying to make money off their misfortunes.
Thus every job posted will be required to be in one registry and proof that it has been filled. Jobs must be reported on the site for no more than 3 months and to remove it must have a 50% of the posting times notice. Each role must be listed separately if there is more than one position. Any company found to have hired someone without posting to the job registry will be fined no less than 5% of the companies value to their local communities food shelters, and have their business license removed and company dissolved of all assets and given to the local community/shelters if 2 infractions are had within 365 days.
If people are having to apply for 200 jobs and it is common that all 200 of those applications fall through then we should be enforcing practices on businesses to take hiring more seriously, if they want people to take their posting more seriously.
StandoutCV stated in their research "Based on these findings, we can deduce that the average person has to make 162 job applications to land a job."
Frankly that's rediculous to assume people should be able to track 162 different job applications and ensure they keep up with every appointment, while remembering 32-54 of those jobs turn out to be fake in the first place.
This would be to ensure professionalism, as they say is the reason for their bill.
Maybe also post who the job goes to. Would be very interesting to see some of those jobs going to H1B Visa holders when there are "no qualified Americans to do the job" after interviewing and turning down multiple Americans.
The fact is, though, that republicans believe companies are people and people... aren't.
Only very tangentially related to this
I work in 911 dispatch. Part of our hiring process is after the initial interview and aptitude test, they have applicants come in to do a job shadow with us for an hour or two. Basically just sit with us while we're answering and dispatching calls, see what the work we do is actually like, gives them a chance ask us questions, and we can kind of feel them out to see if they'd be a good fit.
And a shocking amount of people make it to that stage and then don't show up for their job shadow.
I'm admittedly biased, since I work here, but I feel like even if I didn't actually have any interest in the job, that would be an interesting peek behind the curtain that I'd still want to see regardless.
A step towards a social credit system.
If this passes…. Fuck Ohio.
Moving out of that state has been the single biggest improvement I've made in my life, ngl
Doesn't Ohio already suck? I haven't been there in quite a while but it sucked last time I was there and I haven't exactly heard any good Ohio news since then.
Next on job interview questions list: Do you have any physical impediment to pregnancy?
“The bill rewards professionalism. If you value employers’ time, this process is going to value you,” Lorenz said. “And it just modernizes the employment process and it holds applicants accountable and it helps employers thrive.”
What a load of horse shit. They're trying to create a blacklist registry so that less people get benefits.
Ohio is an at-will employment state. That means your employer can fire you without notice and you can quit without prior notice as well. I have done this due to a furlough and they were not happy, but I didn't want to go through bad financial times again.
Things happen and people miss appointments. You'll forget about appointments and not go simply due to forgetfulness. My wife forgets about appointments from time to time and so do I.
How about a registry for policemen? Or one for politicians getting "donations" from commercial sponsors? This information needs to be made public.
Let me guess it's called right-to-be-interviewed
Funny kind of law to make when the US jobs report for the last month is less than that of Canada's jobs report by ~10,000 jobs.
Some top notch wasting of public taxes.
Sure. But only if there's also a registry of all employment denials that includes the reason for denial and whether they bothered to even tell the applicant.
The registry is to identify people who need extra help with transport or child care so we can target additional resources to help them get hired, right? Right? RIGHT?
