How do i answer this question it kind of tricky and be honest and i haven't be convicted of a crime?

*As a condition of employment with Pizza Hut, if you are offered employment, are you willing to undergo a criminal background and employment reference check? Note – the existence of a criminal history will not automatically disqualify you from the job you are applying for. For applicants in the state of Hawaii, a criminal background check will not be conducted until after a conditional offer of employment has been exhausted

Comprehensive criminal background check question?

I am an engineer and productive, "law-abiding citizen" living in Atlanta. Prior to 2000 I had no criminal record. In 2000 I developed a severe mental illness. Alone, I became progressively psychotic to the point I broke the law. In 2002 I plead guilty under the First Offender program and successfully completed probation in 2004. At that point the Judge issued an order dismissing the case. Shortly after completing probation, in accordance with instructions from the DA’s office, I submitted an application for expungement at City Hall East, the arresting agency, to clear/seal my criminal record from the public (but as I understood it not law enforcement). I was supposed to be called and advised my record was cleared but never was. Regardless, a few months after filing for expungement, I went to the Fulton Co. courthouse and pulled my criminal record. It came up clear and I thought all was well.

Approximately 2 years later I applied for employment and was hired pending a criminal background check. When the employer did a comprehensive background check, my full criminal history came up. Puzzled, I again went to the Fulton Co. courthouse to pull my record, and again it came up clear. Approximately 6 months after that I again was hired conditional on a background check with the same result.

The DA’s office is of no help (don’t get me started on those incompetents). Is there anything I can do to seal my record?

Criminal Background check confusion?

So I’m trying to get a criminal background check for myself because my employment requests it

They recommended me to use a site called integrascan.com which I did

but when I type in my name/information in the search, no results come up for me

When you order this kind of stuff, do you need to find yourself in order to buy a background check or, if you buy it, do they look for you?

My question might seem confusing, so lemme try to re-word it. When I used the site and typed in my information, there should be my name under "reports available for:" but there isn’t one. So if is it still possible for me to buy the background check? or do I have to FIND myself first and THEN order it?

Hospital Employment Criminal Background Check in NJ. How far will they go back?

Just went on an interview for a secretarial position at a local hospital. They will be running a criminal background check. Fifteen years ago I was arrested for shoplifting, assault (as when the secret shopper grabbed my arm I tried to peel her hand off of me, and was charged with assault), possession of marijuana… very little amount. I turned my life around around after these arrests, went on to have three children, and I am a respectful citizen.

I really want this job!!! I am very nervous that this will show up and prohibit an offer of employment.

Does anyone know how far back a NJ hospital check would go?

Thanks!
Yes, they are convictions.. they are misdemeanors. About nine years ago I applied for a job at a nursing home in Pennsylvania and this showed up. The person who interviewed me called me and wanted to meet with me to discuss this. I had already accepted another job and did not meet with her. I am not sure if she was going to offer me the job, even with seeing these convictions or not. At that point in time, it was only 6 years after the convictions. At the present time, these convictions are from 15 years ago, so I am hoping that they will not show up. All I can do at this point is hope I guess!

Who has a problem with school teachers having a criminal background check?

I was reading an article the other day about teachers protesting to have the criminal background check done on them.

Why is it a big deal? What do you have to hide? If you have been convicted of past child pornography charges, then you sure as hell better not be in the same room as my child!

As a mom of an 8 yr old, a 2 yr old and one on the way, I would be very happy knowing that I have my children being taught by someone I definitely know I can trust

Now obviously nobody can tell me if i got hired or not, but I’m wondering would a job really spend money to background check someone they weren’t intending on hiring?

Is it standard practice to check reference after beginning employment rather than prior to?

In my experience, employers typically do background verification and check references prior to confirming the offer. But the recent offer states that they will do a criminal background check and verify references after I start employment and that the employment could be terminated if the checks are not satisfactory. The offer is from a financial company and this would be my first job in financial sector. Is this a standard practice? What do you think?

How can I find out if I would pass a criminal background check?

When I was 17, I was charged as an adult for larceny over 0 and identity fraud. ……. Yes I was an idiot and I hung out with the wrong crowd …… I’m now 24 and haven’t been into trouble since (it’s been 7 years).

I’ve never been convicted, though. The judge was very good to me and gave me a CWOF (continuance without a finding) which resulted in a dismissal after 1 year probation and restitution. Needless to say, I complied with the terms of my 1 year probation and the aforementioned charges were dismissed.

I’ve never been convicted of those felonies. For employment purposes, would I pass a criminal background check? Where can I go to run my background to see if I would pass a criminal check?

I think it’s important to note that I’m from Massachusetts.

TIA

Pass a criminal background check for employment ?

When a job’s ad say’s "the ability to pass a criminal background check " does that mean they will NOT hire you if you have a felony on your record ,no if’s and’s or but’s about it ?

Is it the company or insurance agencies decision ?

I had a drug related felony (PCS) about 5 years ago , I did drug classes and the judge dismissed the case. I guess I was convicted then the class was my "sentence" .

That is the only thing that would be on my record.

Wouldn’t they look past that more than they would say a VIOLENT background ?

I do not do drugs and have no problem taking drug tests.

I am considering a job with Huntington Learning Center.
As a condition of my employment, I have to submit to a criminal background check. I’m not opposed to that at all.

However, the HR person told me that I would have to pay for it, to which I replied "That’s a business cost of Huntington Learning Center – It is not my responsibility".

What’s the law on this? Any thoughts?
Just to clarify…
The cost of the background check is deducted from my first paycheck.

I gave my reply in a respectful manner.

Some very good responses, thanks!

Is it legal to apply the criminal background check section of the "Caregiver" law to non-care giving staff?

I work for a large hospital in Wisconsin and they recently decided they were going to send out a criminal background check survey to ALL hospital staff. They are claiming they are choosing to apply the four or five year background check required by the Caregiver law to ALL hospital staff. I work in IT and NEVER have patient contact. This seems fishy to me besides just being insulting. I was honest on my application and nothing has change in my criminal histroy (or complete lack there of) since my hiring almost four years ago. They also said if we did not fill out this form and return it we would be fired. Beyond applying the caregiver law to non-caregivers I thought it was illegal to force someone to fill something out / sign something under duress of their job? I know this doesn’t replace consulting a lawyer but looking for some guidance on where I stand and what my options are. Thanks to anyone with legal expertiese that can help.

What does it mean to "successfully pass a background check"?

A lot of employers require the candidate "to successsfully pass a criminal background check", however, they are never specific as to what this constitutes. Of course, if you just did 10 years for rape or 20 years for murder, you’re not going to pass. Also, any prior felony conviction will usually be adequate to disqualify you.

But what about misdemeanors or ordinance offenses? Or felony arrests that did not result in conviction? Is it just really company policy when it comes to these less serious matters?
Yes, glock I understand those are the things that show up, but what needs to be on there to "fail"? It probably depends on the company and the position???

I have applied at a financial institution for a Financial Advisor position and have spoken to one HR person who worked there. She informed me that when they do the Criminal Background Check for the U-4 with the SEC/NASD they only check back for the last 10 years. Does anyone know the specifics on this.

I was charged with a felony but got a Noli Prosqui, which basically got it off my records and I was never convicted but the charge itself I know is the only thing that can bar you from getting the security clearance for the U-4…which is forgery. I am praying it doesn’t come up.

When an employer does a criminal background check, are they able to see the details of the indictment?

I just applied for a job that I’ve been working temporary for about 6 months. I passed the drug screen however, I have a felony theft charge on my record. I didn’t lie about the charge I lied about how I got the charge to keep from having to really explain what I did. Will an employers criminal background check show the reason I was charged or just the charge and probation, and date information.

I have a job interview for a daycare monday. The woman told me that I needed to get a criminal background check at the jailhouse. Wouldn’t they normally just do it theirselves? Besides that, what do they do when they run it? Just look up your name?

Does immigration make the usa citizen get a criminal background check.
If someone is legally in usa on a work visa and meets someone they want to marry who is usa citizen? Both people are in usa now. I know if the usa citizen wants to sponsor someone who is abroad then they have to get a criminal check. But both people are currently in usa
I want specific people who know about this or have direct experience.

If I'm a certified medical marijuana patient, will it come up on a FBI background search?

I applied for a job recently and underwent a FBI criminal background check (not a drug test). It takes a few weeks, but can they find out I’m a medical marijuana patient. In these bad times i need a job (don’t we all). Will the fact that a certified M.D issued me a medical marijuana card come up on the local, federal and FBI criminal background check? Someone who is familiar as to if the information is discreet, or made public to some sort of Government branch… please let me know THANK YOU!!! Thanks! ( =

How extensive is the Toys R Us Employment background Check?

I recently attended a group interview at toys r us. The manager stated that a criminal background check and a credit check were done. I have no worries about the criminal. I am worried about the credit check. My credit is going down the toilet. Not because I refuse to pay bills but because I have no income and can’t. I was already turned down by a call center and now I am afraid the same will happen now. I have a spotless employment record and absolutely no criminal record yet this report will deem me as untrustworthy. I have 2 year old medical bills and student loans that aren’t going anywhere. Without a job my credit will get worse. My question is how much would this affect their decision. Has anyone familiar with their hiring process. Any insight would be appreciated.

Will a current warrant show up on a criminal background check for a job?

I am applying for a management job in retail and they will be doing a criminal background check. I have a current warrant for failure to appear in court on a traffic violation. I’ve been waiting to take care of it until I had the money. My question is…Will this show up on a "Criminal" background check or is this just for felonies? If it does show up, will this sort of "blemish" be harmful for a retail job?

How far back does a background check go in terms of years ?

I have to take a Pre-employment criminal background check? If a person had a DUI 20 years ago, would the background check go back that far. It is for a Gov’t job at VA hospital. I don’t want to lie, but I also don’t want to mention stuff on my record 20 years ago if I don’t have to and if they don’t go back that far. I have heard it goes back 7 years? Anybody out there know?
Thanks

What does Pass A Criminal Background Check mean on an employment application ?

Does it mean…..

No arrests ?
No convictions ?
No felony convictions ?
All the above ?

Does it depend on the company ?

I mean, if you think about it, everyone knows somebody that has been arrested. And everyone at the company that asks to pass a criminal background check has a clean record, I doubt it.

Does an employer normally conduct the criminal background check or employment reference check first?

Just curious…when a job offer is made contingent upon the successful completion of a criminal background check and favorable references from your previous employers, which would they complete first? HR professionals, I welcome your input!
Mr. Perfect, obviously if I took the time to post the question then it must matter to me which one is done first, otherwise I’d have never asked…

Thanks for your input.

Is this Police Woman a Racist or Grossly incompetent? Read on.?

This all happened in Prestwich Manchester UK

One evening a woman who I never met or knew knocked at my door and said derogatory comments about me for not paying my rent, I told her I had visitors and it had nothing to do with her, she said “I am the landlords wife”. I went to go back into my house and she grabbed my wrist causing scratches, I pulled her hand off my wrist and she fell to the ground. (there were no real injuries to her or me) She called the police to have me arrested for assault so I called the police too for her assault on me. NOTHING HAPPENED no Police ever came.

Three weeks later the Police did come to arrest me for assault and to search my house for forged passports that the Landlord told them I had. (he lied) they took me to the station and took statements about the assault on the Landlords wife, bailed me for 1 month on police bail. Nobody took up my complaint about her assaulting me despite me complaining 2 times to Police, on the 3rd time at a different station they took my statement about her assaulting me. (this was 7 weeks after the assault)

My bail was up today and the Police Woman left a message that I should meet her so for the result from the Crown Prosecution service. She never showed up and left a note saying to come back in 1 more month pending investigations. She takes 1-2 weeks to return phone calls and if you miss her call she will not call again so I have to wait anoth 1-2 weeks. I have never been in trouble with The police In my life.

I also Have 2 jobs pending a CRB check (criminal background check) as I work with vulnerable Adults so this Police Woman is ruining my career by her mistreatment and incompetence. Who do I need to complain to about the way I have been treated.

I can’t believe that the Police never showed up and three weeks later expect to complete a full investigation long after the fact.

I think she is racist as I am from America and I am Black.

This all happened in Prestwich Manchester UK and the Police Woman works at Whitefield.
THIS QUESTION IS NOT ABOUT RENT its about the way Police handled the case and the 2 months time its taken for a trivial matter that is still under investigation and them not taking up my case against her.
This case is Not about rent, it’s about an assault on myself that police failed to take action until forced to by me. The accuser got preferential treatment and the Police are not professional or timely for such a trifling matter that was just a spat. I accept that this is not racism as many people have now told me that the police in UK are totally useless with everyone. Too busy catching motorists and other easy prey. Thanks for all your answers.

I am going for an expungement hearing in about one week. If I am granted the expungement, how long before a criminal background check does not see my conviction? Also, is there a list out there of all the government agencies that hold conviction information? I am in dire need of this to get off my record quickly!
The expungement hearing is in Mahoning County.

Any and all information and personal experiences are welcome!

What is the best way to do a criminal background check?

I want to do a thorough criminal background check on someone. I’ve already checked the local records but I need to access other states as well.

What is the best way to do this? There are so many online sites offering this but how do I know which ones are legit and the most thorough? I don’t mind paying as long as I know I’m going with a reputable and thorough company.
Thanks!
I don’t know where all the thumbs down came from :( Not me.
Thanks for all the great info so far!

A question about pending documents for a job?

I applied for a job and was told they wanted to interview me, and was asked to send in more documents. A few of those documents will take me some time to get (such as the criminal background check) and I asked if it was okay if I sent the documents I already have first, and then send the other documents as soon as I get them.

This was all right, but I’m wondering what to write when I send the first bunch of documents? Would it be all right to write "Enclosed documents: …." and then below "Pending documents: …."

Or what would you write?

Suspected Theft by estate agent contractor?

My rented flat was burgled while I was away on holiday. The estate agent asked for permission to install a new, more secure door. I gave them permission to install the door while I was at work. When I got home that night I noticed that my laptop was missing. I asked them about it and they said they couldn’t explain what happened and that the people who installed the door were trusted contractors. I called the police and they interviewed both individuals. After the interviews the police served a search warrant on the nephew’s flat, but did not find the laptop. The police told me the nephew has prior convictions for theft, and that’s why they were able to obtain a warrant. I don’t want to file another claim with my contents insurance company after having filed one a few weeks ago. What I really want is for the estate agent to compensate me for my stolen laptop. Do I have any recourse, legal or otherwise? Do estate agents have a responsibility to obtain a criminal background check on their contractors? Thanks…

Is it possible to use the The Freedom of Information Act (2000) is this situation?

I use a bus service to get to school. The bus company is a disgrace and the conditions of the buses can be terrible. The drivers often swear at other drivers and, in some cases, at the pupils. They use their mobiles while driving, which is now illegal in England, and use foreign workers ( i have nothing against foreign people, it’s just that sometimes they don’t understand you and therefore do not stop at your stop).

However, recentley, one of the bus drives was arrested for selling pirate DVD’s. Since then, he has been allowed to drive about 50 children to school. My question is:-

Am i allowed to use The Freedom of Information Act (2000) to find if all the drivers have been security checked/criminal background check (CRB) to see if they actually have been safety checked or even to use the act to know information which can be damaging? (damaging as in safe to work with children)

The reason is im writing a letter to my council.
EDIT!

Also, can i ask them to provide evidence that the drivers have been checked?

I need to get a residence permit to live abroad and one requirement is to get a criminal background check.

I know one way is directly apply to the FBI, but that’ll take weeks to months. I heard I could get a criminal background check from online and get it notarized. Is this true? If so, where can I get criminal background check and can it be notarized by any public notary officer or, does it have to be notarized by an embassy?

Thanks.
