if iam arrested butam not convicted yet when asked on a work application if i have been convicted of a felony?

Question

what do i answer yes or no,because i have been charged with domestic violence but i was realesed on ror and am awaiting on court i do not wish to put this down on a job application but iam afraid if i dont i might get in worst trouble for not giving full information

Answer 1

nooo! YOU DO NOT PUT THIS DOWN, EVEN IF YOU ARE CONVICTED IT WILL ONLY BE A MISDAMEANOR SO DO NOT PUT THIS. IF THEY OUT A BACKGROUND CHECK THEY WILL NOT EVEN SEE THIS BC YOU ARENT CHRGED YET

Answer 2

The simple answer is no you have not been convicted of a felony. Unless it was an enhanced charge for degree of injury or weapons I was not aware that any states had a felony domestic violence. Excepting 2nd offense. If any of those are the case I sorry to say that you have worse problems than worrying about what to put down on a job application.

Answer 3

More then likely your charge is not a felony but the key word here is "convicted". Rarely does someone get released on ROR for a felony charge.

Answer 4

You have to read the question carefully. If they're asking about felony convictions only, then you may omit it. But sometimes, the application form asks about convictions or pending charges. In that case, they would expect you to disclose it. If you conceal it and they find out about it later, they can fire you for misrepresentation and lying on the application.

Answer 5

You haven't been convicted YET, so the answer at this point in time would be no, the application doesn't ask whether or not you have gone to court, although some applications do ask if you have ever been arrested, which you would have to say yes.

Answer 6

Usually the question is have you been convicted of a felony and in this case you have not been. You have only been charged. You are innocent until proven guilty. If you get an interview and they ask about it then I would tell them of the pending charge .......otherwise put no.

Answer 7

It feels like they only don't have it worded surprising. you have by no ability been convicted of a criminal, and that they did no longer even point out misdemeanors, so placed "No." If it is the form of business enterprise that does history exams, and you get to the place they have interviewed you and want to hire you, you could menion it then, to HR or the protection people. you do no longer might desire to. they're going to locate it and that they might ask you approximately it, yet you at the instant are not mendacity in any way.

Answer 8

Hi Stacy. You really should inform your prospective employer about the situation you are in. Remember, even if you are found not guilty of the crimes put against you, you still have a record. It is best to let your boss know now rather than have him/her find out later and you suffer the consequences for lying. Good luck on your case.

Answer 9

This should be an easy one for you. Remember in school, true or false questions. If ANY part of the statement is false, it's all false. You haven't been convidect, so the answer is NO. If the question was, 'have you been charged with a felony' you would answer yes.

Answer 10

Ok, your question gave its own answer.

If you have never been convicted, just arrested, and the application asks have you ever been "CONVICTED" you have not been convicted,

No lie since at the date you signed the application you have not been convicted, If it asks have you ever been arrested that would be different

Answer 11

If you have not yet been convicted, then you can't get in trouble for lying about it.

However, if you do get convicted at a later date, you should probably inform them (though they will probably find out when you don't show up for work because you are in jail).
