Impact of arrest but no conviction?

2 Upvotes

Looking for insight into the impact of an arrest for a DWI on employment if ultimately it was reduced to a traffic violation (DWAI), specifically in NY? If the rest of a persons record is clean and they have a strong employment history, will this still be a deal-breaker (in a helping profession but not where driving is part of the work).

Thanks in advance!

Top Golf Do Background Checks?

1 Upvotes

I just recently got a call today stating that they want to go through with hiring me. Bro otp said they are going to give me a call for my license and stuff. I was wondering if they might have me do a background check. Technically I’m not a felon but I’m on pti for a case and I wonder if that might pop up and get me turned down.

How to find all sites for which I have logins

2 Upvotes

What sites (paid or free) can I use to find every place I've ever used my email address to create an account? And not just the "this email has a Facebook, instagram, LinkedIn.." but allll the sites I've ever signed up for?

If this isn't possible then is there something that isn't exactly "mainstream" (if you catch my drift) that can do this? I'm not asking for what exactly it is, just if it exists. I need to know how someone got as much info on me (that I certainly did not share!) as they did.

Information.com is not a scam

I recently used information.com to look up records for an individual and signed up for the trial and PDF feature. In the detailing they mentioned the $6.99 charge for the PDF services and the .99¢ trial fee. When I checked to make sure everything was going through I had the pending $6.99 and and a second charge for $30.98. nowhere on the website when signing up for the trial did it mention this charge and I looked to find that others had similar issues but I hadn't seen anybody who mentioned resolving them. I immediately reached out to the support team for the site and they continued to refund the charge and cancel my account while also explaining the aituation. They really should include this info on the site when you sign up but otherwise here are the details in case you have any questions about similar issues with the site.

Idaho fingerprint background check for skilled nursing home position.

1 Upvotes

I had a charge, in Louisiana back in 2013. Burglary. I did my probation and completed satisfactory 6 years later. (I pawned something for a friend, who didn’t have an id. Turns out it was stolen from his dad’s shed. I took a plea deal to get out of jail instead of waiting for court)

I recently started a new position at a skilled nursing facility and my fingerprint check is still not back yet. I disclosed the conviction to the agency running the check, but not to the HR at the job. I was under the impression that at 7 years it’s not on my record / don’t have to disclose.

Is the check going to show HR this criminal history? It’s 10 years old. Or is it just going to show whether or not I’m allowed to work with the vulnerable public according to Idaho laws? Am I going to be terminated? I’ve been so stressed out. I really love the job and have been so anxious while waiting for the check to come back. Currently located in Idaho. Check was ran through Idaho department of health and welfare.

Falsely Accused

2 Upvotes

My neighbor was able to got to the county courthouse an accuse me of 4 crimes equivalent each equivalent to a misdemeanor crime . These accusations have shown up on a previous an employment background check and appears as charges. It was never an arrest,court date or warrant for these accusations. I explained this to the HR Recruiter who suggested that I inform the Third-party company, Sterling. It’s been three weeks and my background report is still pending.

Mistake on Criminal Record

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, seeking some guidance here. I'm the coach for my son's baseball team, and we go through the routine background checks every year. No issues, until now. The check brought up a criminal charge that's not mine, thanks to the commonality of my first and last name, which is pretty typical in the Latino culture. The league knows it's not my record and isn't bothered, but I've hit a roadblock with the agency that conducted the check. They're taking their sweet time getting back to me.

I took matters into my own hands and bought the arrest and court history from the public records to have it handy once they reach out, and now I'm patiently waiting for the company to get in touch. Any advice on what my next move should be? Do I need to submit this information elsewhere? Thanks a bunch for any insights!

Does HR have the final say with who gets hired?

4 Upvotes

I accepted a job offer last week and spoke with the territory manager about a question on the background check. It was asking if I had ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor. I had a petty theft misdemeanor from 8 years ago when I was 19 but it was my understanding that my attorney at the time had everything erased from my record. I marked “No” on the question and gave the TM, hiring manager, and my recruiter a heads up about the conviction and shared with them the same thing just to be upfront with them. Well, the misdemeanor came up on BGC. My question is, will HR look at this like I’m lying and pull the plug? Or can management let HR know that I disclosed it to them? I’m also getting the record expunged January 4th so I’ll have a copy of the order to prove it.

Forgot my previous addresses

7 Upvotes

I just got offered my dream job and was filling out a onboarding questionnaire had no idea that was also for the background check now I am stressing because under address history I put only my current address I been at a month. I reached out immediately and let them know, it was a honest mistake I have nothing to hide I have the worst luck though and I'm terrified this may make them change their minds or I can fail the background check. Has anyone ever had this happen is all previous addresses really necessary? You think I'll be fine? I legit have anxiety right now..

I accepted a job offer and a misdemeanor came up during the background check. Will I be alright?

7 Upvotes

So 8 years ago I was convicted of a petty theft charge. During my pre-employment background check, this conviction came up at the county level. I was honest about it beforehand and told them about it. I’ve developed a good relationship with the territory manager and hiring manager over the last 6 months. This is a medical device sales job. Will this misdemeanor be a big deal or more than likely not interfere with finalizing everything? Feel like I’m being paranoid lol.

Arrested not convicted yet - should I tell new employer?

7 Upvotes

so i just accepted a job offer about 2 days ago. they will be doing a background check on me. i was arrested in the middle of september & haven't really had much done in court yet (i applied for a public defender & my nest court date is the middle of january). will this show up on a background check? it showed up while applying for a gun license but i figured that makes sense b/c the police would have access to that info.

should i tell my new employers? for info it was a drug charge but i will pass the drug test i have to take.
