If you were a past criminal for a petty crime such as theft , forgery , blah blah blah , you were convicted , but you were only fined and not imposed any jail sentence , when you go for employment , is it truly absolutely necessary that you have to declare you had a criminal record ? If you do not mention about it , the employer will very likely not know about it right ? As it is not indicated in your IDs or certificates that you have one . I also feel that in order to secure a job for your survival and put the past behind you .. many people with criminal records will choose not to reveal them and wait for time to pass until the criminal record is considered spent . The employer will not find out if you have one unless he delibrately calls up some criminal record department in the police to check right ? Is this really the case with previously convicted people now ?

I feel that since that person has already been convicted,regardless a jail term or a fine;he has received the deemed punishment / retribution for what he did.Yes a criminal record is absolutely necessary for ' RECORDS ' purposes.He / she already got what they deserved.Why further punish them by even blocking up the means of seeking employment,this is as good as diminishing his survival.I could see why some people are repeat offenders cos society is biased & do not offer such ppl a second chance.But consider this,some of them did it in a matter of folly.These ppl have to endure the grueling punishment they got & they have to carry the remorse for what they did for life.Everybody in this world makes mistakes.Ya,u can refer to God,he is all-forgiving but he does not put food in yr plate & thats where he sucks.Put yourself in their shoes . Wouldnt you yourself hope to be given a second chance if you made a mistake yourself?The World Is Horribly Cruel.It condemns 1st & asks questions later.

1st thing I wanna say is , To Hell with those dweebs who ever thought that the world is a beautiful place . No I am not a convicted criminal . All I can say is I am more compassionate and forgiving than other ppl . STOP using colored vision on me and other ppl . This has almost no difference from being racist . Come on .. an employer should not judge an employee's past as a base for employing / not-employing him . That is an utter damn lie . Only diff is it is not punishable . Employers are biased . If not , they would welcome all citizenships / races to work for them . Thank you for all your sarcastic and discriminating replies . I finally came to understand that if someone convicted of a previous crime really wishes to move on , very likely he/she has to start life anew in another country . Where nobody knows them , where there is no record , where they will not be looked upon by ppl with colored vision . Of course , dont go to another country with racists for eg. Americans .

If you were convicted of a misdemeaner or felony then yes (they'll find it anyway when they do a background check). But, an employer can't use that as a soul bases for not hiring you unless you're applying for a position that requires handling money.

As tempting as it is to withhold the info, if it does come up later you can be fired on the spot for lying on the application. So if for some reason a year from now your boss gets wind of the history, you will be in the unemployment line when you were comfortable at your place of employment and there really is no argument on your part becasue you did lie. I would try to get away with it but just know the consequence in the back of your head so you are never too shocked.

The may check with the state police.
Their report will list convictions, charges pending, or , no record.
Now, suppose you don't put a conviction on your app. and they do a police check.?
What could happen? You could be fired for falsifying an application, then you have a firing to explain to your next potential employer, that is, if they hire you.
So sorry to tell you, but a police record can haunt you the rest of your life.

You are living in dreamland. Not disclosing on a job application that specifically asks for it amounts to lying and it will get you fired.
