What is the name of your state (MI)?
Hey guys I'm looking for employment, but I really need advice from someone who actually knows the law and not someone with a biased personal opinion.
I've been getting a lot of conflicting viewpoint on this topic so Id appreciate some feedback.
I have charges pending for a misdemeanor of assault, which will be dropped from my record if I complete six months of classes. On job applications it usually says have you ever been convicted of a felony, or a misdemeanor. Usually I say no because technically I haven't been convicted.
I would like to keep this to myself if I can because it gives employers the wrong impression. Will pending charges show up on most employers background checks? Is it ok to just omit that information from job applications, or do most employees background checks include pending charges?
Also is this employer specific? I mean if it says have you been convicted, and not do you have pending charges is it ok to omitt this or is it better to be up front about it.
I have a recent interview where they asked me if I ever was convicted and I said no but in the interview I came clean and felt like it gave the wrong initial impression.
Help me please Im so frustrated about this.
