Crime doesn't pay. Does that mean my job is a crime?.

Maybe your boss is robbing you blind.

Some colleges ask on your application if you have a felony, ignore that. You were not 21. I work with organizations that are trying to stop the discrimination that is preventing people with CORI to move forward with their lives. As far as a career, your robbery will depend on the circumstances, you will need to work on your community service and do well in school to show an employer that you are worth hiring. I am going to give you a website to contact to assist you and others facing the same challenges. Go to school and pursue your dreams. Your past is just that your past it is not the person you are today. Good Luck

Get paid to do nothing, or not get paid to do nothing.  Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

I'm confused?  Why is being a woman a crime?  \n\nIs this some feminist ideal of, I'm not making as much money as someone else?

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.

yes of course over the years this has happened time and time again\n\nMost of these people are really nice people and hard workers, but they are being rewarded for breaking the law.\n\nIf I was unemployed and decided , heck I will rob banks but not use any weapon so no one can get hurt, I am not hurting anyone, so why does it matter.\n\nShould I not be forgiven for breaking the law, I was merley trying to make a better life for myself and I was not hurting anyone.

Of course the law related to this issue, if there is any, would depend on which jurisdiction (state or country) you are in.  \n\nBut I'm not sure exactly what you are seeking.  Probation means that they are monitoring you.  They haven't cut your pay or anything.  What the company is saying is that your sick time is excessive.  I don't imagine they are saying anything about the truth or falsehood of your situation.  They're just saying that this much sick time isn't acceptable for them.  I don't know why you think this is strange.  No one can afford to keep paying people who aren't there, no matter how good their excuses are.\n\nThis doesn't appear to be a 'rights' issue to me, but one of asking for compassion.  Explain to your employer how much time you put in without pay, and try to make the case for why you shouldn't be on probation.  But I'd encourage you to think the issue through from their perspective first.  You seem to only be focused on your own needs, and with that attitude, you'll never be able to work out a working relationship that will work for both of you.\n\nBest of luck to you.

The secreat word here is ILLEGAL, many have gone by the rules and have came here and I greet them with open arms. Help them anyway I can. But if you are illeagal, then you have commited a crime and need to pay for it.

No do not tell them that those are like the parking tickets of crime. Those aren't reported the same way I used to work in the court just leave it out. Plus it can cost up to $200.00 bucks to background check someone not every company is going to want to spend that kind of money for every applicant. Unless its a corporate job. But to the point petty offenses don't show up.

Its not a good idea.  There are 3 crimes that you ought to avoid in USA.  They give you life easy if you are convicted.  If you are convicted of murder, convicted of rape, and convicted of grand larceny.  I mean, these three crimes will land you in jail for the rest of your life.  I would rather cheat someone, and employee, or cheat a customer.  I would never steal anything.  Its just not worth it anymore...hehee..."anymore"  But, do look into a job, because sometimes you only need to find a job to realize what its worth.  Id rather break into an abandoned home and work out of there till you have enough money.  Its alot better then stealing.  Breaking and entering may not be much in jail if you are caught.  Especially an abandoned home.  They will take it to heart that you are a homeless with no where else to go.  Try going around looking for things that you can find on the streets to sell.  The easiest is cans.  There are other things of course.  Or, try to get money for an ax and try selling chopped wood.  I mean its better then throwing your life away.  Good luck bro...

That is how law defines that, if you were tried in a common pleas court, you could try to appeal your case, if that doesn't work, you need to try to get though it, after all :if you cant do the time, don't do the crime! I work in a police office and since you have been sentenced to rehabilitation, your stuck with it. I hate to say it, but there really isn't anything you can do, but appeal.

What state do you live in...?  Typically the answer is "no."  The person who left without paying has committed a crime, and you can't be held responsible for a crime committed by another person.\n\nIf your employer is making you pay for a dine and dash, you may want to get a hold of your state's department of labor (or equivalent department) and file a complaint.

Well, you won't get a job offer in law enforcement, but there are endless possibilities out there. I know you can't work in a public school with a felony conviction, ( I am a teacher ) however I would not quit college just because of it. Many employers simply won't care if you committed robbery at age 18. You were barely a legal adult. If you are qualified for the job you are after and you can explain what happened openly and honestly, I think many employers would hire you. Tim Allen, the actor, has a felony cocaine conviction. It didn't stop him. And, a felony committed at 18 shouldn't stop you. Stay in school.

Laws are different from state to state but expunging your record is a good idea.  But in many (most?) states just expunding it doesn't necessarily take the charge/arrest of your record.  It gives you the right to say to employers that you do not have the mis/felony but sometimes it will show up on backgournd checks but it will show that it was expunged.  But it still shows "what" was expunged.  It's complicated so you may want to talk to a lawyer and ask what kind of background checks your employer does.

Again, any crime you committed as an adult will show up on a national criminal history, dismissed or not.   I know this as I have been on the job for 24 years.\n\nNow, as for if they hire you or not... That can only be answered by them.  Every entity has their own hiring policy.

your crime does not fit under discrimination, as you committed that crime.  That was a choice, unlike race, gender, etc...I don't think that everyone will turn you down, I typically look at the crime when hiring, and believe me, there are a lot more people out there with records than you would guess.  If someone was a thief, or violent, I will not hire them.  Companies can refuse to hire for ANY reason.  It may just be that here in MIchigan the economy is so bad, and unemployment is so rampant, that their just aren't enough job openings.  But, I would be honest about yourself, if they are asking.
