If you have had adjudication withheld on felony convictions do the convictions show up on a background check done by an employer?

it will show up just as it says as: "adjudication witheld"...but if you've completed what you were supposed to then the case will be dismissed and they are not allowed to report this to the employer because it isn't technically a conviction as long as you have completed the probation, fine, or community service. They are only allowed to report convictions on misdemeanor or felony charges. If it is still in process they are also supposed to hold off on reporting because it technically is pending and not a conviction as well.

∙ 15y agoIt can depend on how far back in your life the employer wishes to search, BUT if you were found anything else but 'charge dismissed', 'not guilty', or you were 'pardoned' - the record of your arrest and subsequent court action will appear on your criminal record. UNLESS it occurred prior to your 18th birdthday.

What does it mean to have Withheld Adjudication forward slash CTS on your case?
CTS probably stands for credit for time served. Withheld adjudication basically means that the defendant was not adjudicated guilty, which will preserve his civil rights once the sanctions are completed. It should be noted that credit for time served will probably not result in a withholding of adjudication because credit for time served is actually a sentence, which cannot be withheld if such sentences pronounced.
Does a withheld adjudication show up on background search?
Most likely not depending on how extensive the background check is. Most employers are looking at the last ten years or so and for serious crimes. Unless you were applying for a strict clearance or government position is should not be an issue.

Can I pass a background check with a withheld adjudication?
It may depend on several things, none of which is revealed by the question:(1) What was the original offense or charge?(2) What was the sentence?(3) Did you successfully complete the terms of the sentence?Since "adjudication withheld" means different things in different court systems,(4) if #3 is 'yes,' what was the judge's final ruling in your case? Was it dismissed, or what?Finally:Unless the arrest, the charge, and the court action was EXPUNGED, your offense will appear on a background check.Depending on the factors set forth above, if the employment questionnaire asks if you were ever CHARGED or ARRESTED you must answer yes, or risk having the employer think your are trying to conceal it.If the background check is being conducted by a government agency (for employment or for a security clearance) it will make no difference if the record was expunged or not. Expunged records are accessible to background checks conducted by government agencies.
