Pursue only jobs in occupations unrelated to your conviction, and only with larger employers.

Employers with 15+ employees are subject toi Title VII and cannot consider convictions unrelated to the job's duties. A theft conviction can keep you from a bank teller job, but not from an engineering job. A child abuse conviction can bar you from a child care or child teaching job, but not from a bank teller or college prof job.

Employers smaller than 15 can ignore Title VII and bar all convicts.

Yes. If you have committed a felony no matter how extreme, your employer has the right to deny you a job. This is because the employer does not have to hire someone who can pose a threat or danger to their company.

Yes. A criminal background represents a potential liability for a company especially if the conviction relates to job duties. For example, you wouldn't want to hire someone who was convicted of armed robbery as a bank teller.

What happens if you don't tell your employer that you have a felony conviction?

The employer can fire you at any time they find out about something you lied about on your application. This has happened to many people who have inflated their educational experience on their applications. Do you really want to have that hanging over your head?


Will an employer find out about house arrest and can they fire you for it?

Court records are public records in the United States. Whether or not an employer will check those records is another story. An employer can find out about a conviction. Whether or not an employer will find out about a conviction is a different issue. The fact that following your conviction you were held under house arrest is irrelevant. The nature of the punishment is irrelevant. The fact that you were convicted is the relevant issue. Was there a deal made that would get the conviction removed from your record? Was that part of any agreement? It is illegal for an employer to fire you in the United States because you were arrested. It is legal for an employer to fire you in the United States because you were convicted. Is the conviction on your record?
