Lying on a job application

[hiyakitten]

What is the name of your state? Ohio

If I did not put that I have a felony in the state of Ohio on my job application can I get fired if they find out? Also is there any reason I cannot become a manager if I have a felony on my record?

Thank you to all who reply.

My response:

I always hire felons for my office. It gives my other employees something to wonder about, and fear! Who knows whether I've hired a murderer, or a heroine distributor, etc. However, felons always make good choices for managerial positions - - it gives my other employees someone to look up to and emulate.

I prefer chain gang foremen who have been fired for abuse of prisoners. At least then you know what you're getting

Martha, isn't that new satellite radio gig working out for you?

If you lie on your application and say you do not have a felony on your record when you do, you're darned tootin' you can get fired if they find out. The same goes for ANY lie on your application, be it a lie of commission or a lie of omission. What's more, in most if not all states, if you are fired for falsifying your application, you don't get unemployment.

Whether or not you can become a manager with a felony on your record is entirely up to your employer. Nothing in the law either forbids nor requires it.

Also is there any reason I cannot become a manager if I have a felony on my record? That's entirely up to your employer.
