Who will hire you with pending charges?

Answer 1

Charges show up as soon as they are reported. In many states, including Massachusetts, pending charges DO show up on what they call your CORI report.

They can and do get people fired or turned down when applying for work even when they have absolutely no prior record.

This provides an unfair advantage to the police and prosecution, because it leaves the falsely accused less capable of a proper defense and leads to deals that would never be made otherwise. It is clearly stacking the deck.

It is essentially a case in society where you are clearly guilty until proven innocent. It is sick, morally, and seemingly Constitutionally wrong, but it is there.

Answer 2

yes. I know someone with one pending charge and the company sent them a little friendly message basically saying that because of the pending charge they were not able to be officially hired. However, that is usually only for big companies; independently owned companies and other places depends on who you know. Speak with an attorney or public defender to see how long it takes before you can get an expungement to drop your case so that way you do not have to have that charge hanging over your head. Good luck :)

Answer 3

There are lots of places that will hire you if you have pending charges such as Kroger's and Wal-Mart. Pending charges may or may not show up on pre-employment background charges.

Answer 4

Probably not, but that would depend on whether or not an employer would hire you. Most wouldn't.
