If you are hired and it is found you willing lied on your application you would be fired you could also be reported to the law if the employer wished to. If you unwilling lied on your application and found out after I would tell your employer right away to straighten it out that way you could not get in trouble. If you were not hired lying on the application can still get you reported to the law but generally an employer doesn't bother.
AnswerCare to quote the statute that makes it a crime to lie on a job application? I agree that you will probably lose the job if your employer finds out, but it's very unlikely that there is anything to report to the law.It depends on what the lie was and the consequences of lying. Just remember, by signing under the par that says you are telling the truth about what you put on the application, ANY lie that contradicts what you have written is cause to fire you. No matter how long you have had the job, or the job that you do.

∙ 9y agoIt is never a good idea to lie on a job application. If you are applying for a position that requires you to be bonded, it will become apparent that you are not during the application and hiring process.

Is it illegal to lie on a job application?
Yes. Misleading someone for the purpose of financial gain is fraud... And although it is highly unlikely that the employer would do anything about it--in practical terms, you've just made it easy for them to fire you for cause. Depends upon the job. Some jobs it is illegal and for all jobs can result to being fired or terminated from the position. Never lie on an application. You can ommit some things but explain why.
Should you put being fired for theft on a job application form for new job?
If it was not a job that you were at for very long, you can leave it off your application or resume, but your potential employer may ask you to explain any lapse in employment. It is probably best not to omit things on applications especially since most applications nowadays make you sign saying that you did not lie by omission.

Does a felony have to be put on a job application if it is not job related?
yes Absolutely YES. If you lie, and your employer finds out you can be fired for falsifying your application. By lying, you are proving that you haven't changed your ways, or learned from your mistakes. Remember that your felony status is recorded at the Federal level (via NCIC and the FBI) Simple background investigations almost always query these or similar data banks. You may not get the job because you listed a felony, but you will almost always get fired for lying on an application. According to EEOC Compliance laws set by the U.S. Government, places of employment can ask if the applicant has been convicted of a felony and other information if the felony is job related. However, they cannot ask if the applicant has ever been arrested. (An arrest does not prove guilt.) Also they cannot ask for information regarding a conviction that is NOT job related.

Is it illegal to check 'no' on a job application where it asks if you have been convicted of a crime even if you have?
It isn't illegal unless the application has a clause stating so, if you deliberately mislead and/or lie about information. They will probably find out though, and any chance you may have had to be hired (or if hired you will be probably be fired) will go down the drain. It is always illegal to use a false or someone else's SSN# on any application. By signing on the dotted line, you are swearing that everything contained herein on your application is completely 100% true. If you lie, and your new boss finds out, you can and will be fired for falsifying your application. It just makes you look more sketchy if you lie. It is better to be honest, and show that you have learned from your mistakes, rather than keep commiting them. Most applications ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony, which is totally diff from a crime. so if it says felony and that isn't you then you may answer no
