Background check question
What is the name of your state? New York
My husband was charged three years ago with theft (in Maryland). He was stealing from his employer ... they obviously fired him. We went to court and paid the company a large sum of money and the judge gave him Probation Before Judgement (1 year probation). He has not been in any trouble since then. We now live in New York and the company he works for did not do a background check on him prior to hiring him, but now they are going to start doing contract work for Home Depot and they (Home Depot) require a background check on everyone before they will allow them to do any work. When we were in MD he was certified through Home Depot to do work (this is after the arrest), they ran a background check and still allowed him to work. They want to do another check on him now because he is in NY and working for a different company. My question is ... how does Probation Before Judgement work? Can they deny him employment even though they allowed it in MD? Can his current employer fire him for this? What do we need to do to get this expunged from his record?
Thanks!!
