Is there laws against lying to obtain employment?

Henpecked

Yes, but the employer normally just fires the individual for submitting a false application. They feel that, if you lied on your application, you are not trustworthy or honest.

Mr. Mean

I believed in you, and you lied!

Oh well, just bring donuts tomorrow and make sure you show up early and stay late for the next five years and everything will be okay.

It will be our little secret. I promise I won't tell anyone.

It's called fraud and the employer in question will most likely report it. When I catch an applicant lying about their education or work history, I light them up like a Christmas tree.

yes, it is fraud, but the consequence I guess would be determined by what the lie was.

BE HONEST or find a job that won't ask.

Every appointment letter clearly says that if they found that you have misdeclared and given false details, you are liable for termination. When you join the job, you sign the duplicate copy of the letter towars acceptance of the terms and conditions.

Calm

Yes it's covered under fraud.

Sid

Yes there is, and liars always get found out.

Chrystal M

Depends on what job you are applying for, but yeah, it's called fraud.

itsallgood

Oh yes! Usually they will ask on every job application if you have been honest in your answers. You can be put in jail if you lie and are caught. There is no "perfect" employee. Be upfront with your potential employer about your strengths AND weaknesses. They will appreciate your honesty.

kiko_banditz

yeah, ofcourse. honesty is the best policy, live on those words.
yeah right!!! you've got to admit, we can't go on without lying, no?

Cameka T

yes there is because they'll find out and you will go to jail.

Valkyrie

That depends. I know quite a few strippers that lied and said they were 18 to get jobs.

aswkingfish

If the job is civilian only no. If the job is government related or a job that is under government contract yes.
