  1. Criminal Records and Employment Discrimination

  2. This will explain why employers will or will not ask about your criminal records, how you should describe your criminal records and the rights you have, so you are free from employment discrimination because of the said criminal records. This will help you get a job even if you have criminal records in your file.

  3. What Will Employers Ask About My Criminal Records? •For most employers and licensing agencies, it is illegal to ask about arrests and criminal records that were not followed by a conviction. Questions like “Have you been arrested before?” are illegal questions and it is also illegal for employers to ask about dismissed cases that were in your favor like declines to prosecute and voided arrests. If you have criminal records when you were a teenager like juvenile delinquent are also illegal.

  4. Should I Tell the Truth About My Criminal Records? •Yes. Always tell the truth even if it is tempting to lie and hope that your employer doesn’t find out about your criminal records, it is highly unlikely since employers today are running scans on criminal records and background checks so they will find out one way or another. If you leave out a blank or you lie or even leave out some information, the employer may reject you as a candidate for the job or fire your because you were lying or did not answer completely. Even if your criminal records are not bad, you can be disqualified.
