Is it just one company who does this? If so, call them and inform them that you are filing a suite for slander, then follow through. It can be tough to find a laywer, but it'll be worth it. Keep searching the yellow pages (or yellow.com) and press the company.

Filing a false police report is in itself a crime.  Contact your local PD and provide all pertinent information. \nThe PD did nothing wrong. They were 'doing their job'. Most officers I know are very perturbed when a false report is filed. \nOnce the issue of filing the false report is established, you can then sue former employer for false arrest.\nThere's also the issue of slander, if these people are willing to provide a statement and appear in court as a witness.\n\nGood luck.

that's what happens when you go to prison. I would say lie to them. Most companies don't do background checks, unless you are dealing with a lot of money. look at it this way, if you tell the truth, nothing bad happens, you just don't get the job, but if you lie, nothing bad happens, you just have a little better chance of getting a job. I would suggest you move to New Mexico, Arizona or Texas, they hire alot of illegal aliens, and most companies here don't do background checks. I would also suggest you go to a schoolof some kind, most employers would look around it if you have some education under your belt.

Many companies hire a professional , accredited private investigation firm to conduct pre-employment background checks.  The ones I know check a state level bureau of investigation for a criminal record, felony or misdemeanor.  If an arrest record is found, the investigation firm can they go to the appropriate state, local or county court clerk's office to research the facts of the case.  The investigators can also do a search of the court systems for cases against you.\n\nBottom line - if you are asked about your background on an application or during a job interview DON'T LIE!  I've seen folks with minor stuff on their record but the company would not hire them because they lied on the application.\n\nGood luck

Well if you request a copy of the record from the company that did the background report,you will find that it contains the F.B.I header in it somewhere.You will also find at the top of the page "It is illegal for a company to deny you employment because of any information contained in this report"(However it doesn't apply to certain Government jobs)So ,therefore the report which is comes from a"government" agengy but,is collected by an independant firm says that if you are denied employment you can sue.

Although you have heard some information about how the case was handled, it seems a bit unlikely that a worker would risk their job considering that paternity is easily proven or disproven with DNA testing.  What is their motive?\n\nIt seems like your best chance would be to file suit against the woman who made the false statements and not the agency/state. You might want to consider small claims court; however, it is unlikely you would ever collect even if you win without incurring additional expense and aggravation.  \n\nIf you have good, hard evidence against the worker, write a letter to the agency head with the details and any proof.  However if you are just out to get even, you might want let it pass.  It was a very unfortunate incident, but it is over, and pursuing revenge will not bring you any peace.  Put it behind you and move forward with your life.   Living well is the best revenge.

The fact that you were honest with them and told them about it before they found out about it for themselves will possibly help you out. One of the big things when applying to, or even working at, a police department is honesty. They know that people screw up. It's in our nature, nobody is perfect. But if you can accept your screw ups as what they are, admit that you screwed up, and make every effort to ensure that it never happens again, then a lot of screw ups can be overcome. However, if you lie about it, deny it, make excuses, etc., then that shows that you obviously have not learned from your screw up, and it is likely to happen again. It also shows a lack of maturity, a lack of integrity, and a lack of responsibility, all of which are vital to being an effective police officer.\n\nHaving said that, though, I have to tell you that there is still a possibility that they will not hire you right now. If you used marijuana just four weeks ago, they may view that as too recent. They may tell you to come reapply in six months or a year, and if you have stayed clean, then it will not be an issue, because you haven't used again. The time period may be longer or shorter. They generally do something like that to give you a chance to show over a period of time that you truly did learn from your mistakes and not done it again.\n\nWithout knowing anything more about you or the recruiters, I can't say for certain. But from what you have said here, it can go either way. If it doesn't work now, though, just be patient, show you meant what you said, and come back after a little time has passed.\n\nGood luck.

Absolutely it can.  Many places now ask on applications whether or not you've been convicted of a felony.  There are laws against discrimination, but companies can find lots of excuses of why they didn't hire you.\n\nThat said, not all companies discrimate and you can still find a fabulous job.  I would be open and upfront about my past if the company asked about it on the application because if they hire you and find out later that you lied on the application, it could cost you your job.

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.

Ahh, the Good Ole Boy system at it's finest.  Going on here where I live.  Did a big story about some small rural departments hiring guys will felony drug arrest, aggravated assaults.  Smaller departments like that somehow can sometimes get away without doing background checks, don't know how, some loop hole I guess. \n\nI agree with the previous post, you're going to need proof of it, and any information you have.  Try contacting your state Bureau of Investigation office. (If you lived in Kansas, it would be called KBI, here in Tennesse it's TBI, etc.)  Can also contact the agency that certifies the officers.  Some states it's called POST(Police Officer's Standards & Training) or CJST(Criminal Justice Standards and Training).  They're the one's that can yank a cop's certification.

You can contact you local police department, however, this type of fraud is on the rise and it is very hard to trace. The best thing to do is not give the person ANY of your information.

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.

I have done research on this and the two questions that are allowable by law are:\n\n1) Verify dates of employment\n\n2) Is this individual eligible to be rehired? \n\nHowever, there are many ways to get the information needed. Everyone knows someone who knows someone, and it goes on and on. If you fudge on numbers on your resume', job history, or on an application, it can be verified and then you are seen as a risk due to being dishonest. It's always best to answer honestly!

That information MAY show up on a background check.\n\nIt depends on where you are applying for work (not the state you live in). There are only 10 states that do not allow employers to ask about arrests. In Oregon, we have several employers who routinely demand a "police contact sheet" of all hires. This includes every time your name was on a police report - whether you did anything or not.  Since you were arrested - it can show up. \n\nEven if you went through a diversion program or met other requirements that would get rid of the conviction - it does not automatically disappear. You still have to get it expunged.  How you do that varies by state. Check with your local county court for more information. \n\nNote to others reading this - even Juvenile records are not automatically sealed.  There is a process that you have to go through and request they be sealed (in most states). \n\nAlso the law is what the state you are applying for work in says it is. If you have crimes in NY (that NY says can't be looked at after X years) and you apply for a job in Oregon, that job can and will consider those crimes anyway.

Yes you should worry! First of all, it WILL show up that way on a background check. Second of all you could lose the job for "nondisclosure" if you are hired for it. There is no way to clear the situation at all.

are you drawing unemployment? if so it'll be easy for them to find out if you're lying.  The crime though... no crime until you sign at the bottom of an application stating you verify that everything within the application that you wrote is true to the best of your knowledge. it can be a felony but most likely a misdemeanor if they really wanted to try and hit you with the book... most companies don't though it's a waste of their time. but you surely wont get the job if they do find out. if you haven't been drawing unemployment just say self employed. don't ask your old HR to lie for you... they may say that they would do it and then tell the new company that you are lying and asked them to cover up for you... think about it.

You have to tell the truth on an application because if they find out later you lied you can be fired. Obviously they want experienced persons. But you could complete the rest of the application and in that spot put No Experience and make comment as to why you think you qualify.
