FAQ

You can include specific details such as: The names of prior employers. The dates of your employment. Previous job titles you held. Your duties and their impacts. Relevant education or training, including certifications. Accomplishments such as promotions, awards or other recognitions.

Tell the truth. Most employers will run a background check and learn about your criminal record, whether you tell them or not. Know what is in your criminal record. It is not uncommon for your criminal record to contain incorrect information, and prospective employers will probably see it.

Wronged employees have three ways of proving their employers intended to discriminate: circumstantial evidence, direct evidence, and pattern and practice. Circumstantial evidence is evidence that proves a fact by inference, as opposed to direct evidence which directly proves a fact.

It is up to you, but we recommend honesty. On the application, write ”will discuss in interview” rather than a lengthy explanation of past convictions. In an interview, keep explanations brief, and stress what you have learned from your conviction and time in prison, how you have changed, and your skills or assets.

Explain your conviction. Old conviction example: “Ten years ago, I was convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol. I served time in prison for this offense. Since my release, I have turned my life around. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you in more detail at an interview.

A criminal record or criminal history is a list of your contacts with the criminal justice system. This includes contact with law enforcement agencies and the courts and may include arrests, detentions, convictions, and more.

An employer's use of an applicant's criminal histo- ry in making employment decisions may, in some instances, constitute employment discrimination if not handled properly by a prospective employer.

TEXAS DOES NOT ONLY ALLOW A 7 YEAR CHECK. This is a dangerous and pervasive urban legend. YES, you should absolutely disclose any and all convictions. These are permanent and will always be on your record. Some employers choose to only look back 7 years, but they can look back as far as they want.

The Seven-Year Rule for Criminal Background Checks in Texas ing to 15 U.S. Code § 1681c, when you have a criminal arrest on your record, reporting agencies are prohibited from including it on the report if the arrest was more than seven years old. This does not apply to convictions.

An employer's use of an applicant's criminal histo- ry in making employment decisions may, in some instances, constitute employment discrimination if not. Note that some laws prohibit employers from hiring people with certain criminal records for some jobs.Texas law lists several situations in which a criminal record may be expunged. If you believe an employer has discriminated against you, contact the EEOC online at eeoc. Approximately 1 in 5 American Adults has a criminal record that will show up in a background report. Regarding criminal record discrimination, employers may not discriminate against job applicants with similar criminal records based on protected classes. In 2012, the EEOC updated its guidelines on employers' use of arrest or conviction records in hiring decisions. 3.13 Non-Discrimination. The thing about these background checks is if the employer doesn't care about the misdemeanor for dui, they won't fail you. If the employer finds out about a conviction because they have doubts about the employee already, they'll be fired so fast their head will spin.
