An employer can hire or not hire based on almost any criteria they choose, as long as it does not violate any discrimination law.
Basically, it depends on whether the prospective employer will hire you.
No. If you've never been arrested you will not have any criminal record. If you are required by an employer to certify to this fact, all you have to do is request a criminal check on your name and you will receive a form that states that no record was found for your name/DOB. Do not confuse a criminal record with a DMV record. If you have a driver's permit, you WILL have a DMV record.
There is no limit set by law on how far back a prospective employer can look into your criminal history - EXCEPT - a civilian employer cannot access your juvenile record.
By checking your criminal history record, which in the US is a public record. It will show all offenses you have been involved in since your 18th birthday.
Passing a criminal background check means that no red flags or criminal records were found in the individual's background. This typically means that the individual has a clean criminal record and meets the employer's criteria for employment.
Yes. The courts have ruled that employers DO have this right....However the employer is responsible for paying all the cost of having a criminal background check preformed.
Certainly. In fact, criminal records are a matter of public record, so they can view yours at any time. Employers also watch newspapers for public announcements of arrests. Many people lose their jobs after their employer reads in the paper they were arrested for DUI.
Any criminal record AFTER you have become an adult will be a permanent part of your criminal history record, unless you have it expunged. How much your record might affect your employment would be up to your prospective employer.
Unable to answer this question. It ALL depends on how your employer feels about your criminal record - IF - they bother to check it.
A misdemeanor is a crime. It will remain on your criminal record and is permanent. It will be up to your prospective employer as to how serious he views it.
Prior criminal convictions can interfere with your ability to work in any field. The specific effect depends on the employer.
Expunged means removed, therefore the record no longer exist and would not be a factor. If the party had other criminal offenses on record that were not erased then those would appear in background check.
