COMPLETING EMPLOYMENT APPLICATIONS
   |
I received my rap sheet, reviewed it, and made corrections. I still do not know what to put on my employment applications.
What Should I Disclose About My Criminal Record?
Pennsylvania Law requires that you disclose conviction information if
you are asked by a prospective employer about your criminal history. If
the employer asks about arrests, you must disclose all arrests that have
not been expunged—even if they did not result in convictions. If asked
about a conviction and/or arrest, tell the truth. Keep in mind that
employers often do their own background check. A conviction is a guilty
plea or a court or jury finding of guilt for a crime or offense.
Note: After your record has been expunged, you will be able to
say no if asked about an arrest and/or conviction.
