The notice doesn't say that process applies outside California. We saw the same notice on store crew postings in Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina, on manager postings in Texas, Ohio and Virginia, on driver postings in Oklahoma and Texas, and on a store posting in Ontario, Canada, so it is site-wide wording rather than a notice shown only where a local law requires it.

Ill., No. 1:23-cv-01655) alleging that DHL Supply Chain's criminal background check policy, and its rule disqualifying applicants who didn't fully disclose criminal history, had a disparate impact on Black and Hispanic applicants for non-exempt jobs at its U.S. sites. DHL Supply Chain denied liability and settled for $2.7 million. It agreed to have an industrial-organizational psychologist review its background check policy and propose changes, and to adopt the changes it accepted, with disagreements decided by the mediator. The class covered Black and Hispanic applicants for non-exempt jobs with DHL Supply Chain from 2016 through 2021 whose conditional job offers were rescinded at least partly because of information on a background report or because they hadn't fully disclosed criminal history. The court gave final approval on August 22, 2023. The filings we read don't say what, if anything, changed in the policy.","source":{"url":"https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23720971/us_dis_ilnd_1_23cv1655_d277825961e828_-1_exhibit_1_settlement_agreement.pdf","title":"Settlement Agreement and Release, Pickett v.

The postings we read vary: shift leader postings in Kokomo, Indiana and Champaign, Illinois say employment is contingent on satisfactory background check results; Longview, Texas assistant general manager and delivery driver postings mention criminal background and motor vehicle record checks; one Class A CDL driver posting in Louisville lists meeting company requirements on MVR, DOT, CSA and criminal background; and a Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio assistant manager posting, which describes itself as from a franchisee's group of Akron-area stores, asks for the ability to pass a criminal background check. Other postings we read, including Chicago and Philadelphia delivery driver postings and team member postings in California, Georgia, Ohio and North Carolina, don't mention a background check. We found no applicant privacy or background-check notice, so the screening company, lookback period and exact timing are not published.","sources":[{"url":"https://jobs.papajohns.com/faqs.html","title":"FAQs | Papa Johns","publisher":"Papa John's International, Inc.","accessed":"2026-10-31"},{"url":"https://jobs.papajohns.com/job/34944/shift-leader-restaurant-management-us-in-kokomo-515-s-reed-rd/","title":"Restaurant Management Job: Shift Leader at Papa Johns in 515 S Reed Rd, Kokomo, IN","publisher":"Papa John's International, Inc.","accessed":"2026-10-31"},{"url":"https://jobs.papajohns.com/job/24796/shiftleader-restaurant-team-member-us-il-champaign-106-e-green-st/","title":"Restaurant Management Job: CLOSING Shift Leader 4 days/week at Papa Johns in 106 E Green St, Champaign, IL","publisher":"Papa John's International, Inc.","accessed":"2026-10-31"},{"url":"https://jobs.papajohns.com/job/13259/assistant-manager-restaurant-management-us-oh-cuyahoga-falls-1630-state-rd/","title":"Restaurant Management Job: Assistant Manager at Papa Johns in 1630 State Rd, Cuyahoga Falls, OH","publisher":"Papa John's International, Inc.","accessed":"2026-10-31"},{"url":"https://jobs.papajohns.com/job/12760/delivery-driver-delivery-driver-us-tx-longview-1409c-w-loop-281/","title":"Delivery Driver Job: Delivery Driver at Papa Johns in 1409c W Loop 281, Longview, TX","publisher":"Papa John's International, Inc.","accessed":"2026-10-31"},{"url":"https://jobs.papajohns.com/job/12745/assistant-general-manager-restaurant-management-us-tx-longview-905-e-marshall-ave/","title":"Restaurant Management Job: Assistant General Manager at Papa Johns in 905 E Marshall Ave, Longview, TX","publisher":"Papa John's International, Inc.","accessed":"2026-10-31"}]},"drug_test":{"policy":"not_published","detail":"We found no Papa John's careers page, FAQ or posting that mentions a drug test for restaurant, delivery or distribution jobs.
