not really, and they are underpaid if it is known before an offer is made.
Sadly yes, much like the federal and state governments.
There are no states that are prohibited from discriminating against felons. There are some states that keep this practice to a minimum, such as Vermont; however, the federal government discriminates openly against the previously convicted, and the states follow the federal government.
As a publicly funded state institution the University is not legally allowed to discriminate.
it is illegal for them to discriminate if the charge is not conflict with the position.
After 9/11 it was estimated that seventy-five percent of the truck drivers frequenting US shipyards were previously convicted felons. It is probably safe to continue that estimate to all shipyard workers. So, yes, a person previously convicted of a felony can work at a Virginia shipyard, provided the specific employer does not decide to discriminate against those with records of felony conviction.
This is a process the employer must undertake. The employer's CPA should be able to explain the process.
no
No, as of 2014 ex-felons in the state of Florida cannot adopt children. Adoption requires extensive background checks and felony records are not acceptable.
What kind of "trustee?" "Trustee" for WHAT?
The most reliable predictor of future behavior is past behavior. When an employer hires someone they are investing in that person and want a reliable employee. Employers know that often convicted felons have problems other than the fact that they committed a crime. These problems can lead someone to offend. Some examples are poor decision making skills, drug and alcohol abuse, impulsiveness, and anger control issues. What guarantee does the convicted felon have that they have changed? Employers do not want to deal with these problems at the workplace.
Convicted felons are considered mean, dishonest, and short tempered. An employer may not want to hire them because they are afraid they'll steal or hurt someone
There will be some offshore jobs that will be open to convicted drug felons. However, it is up to each employer as to whom they hire.
