Find answers to your legal question.





My Brother got a city job, but the company needs to check his criminal record and background. But when he was?

young, he got a mistake and the court have sealed his case. I don't know if the city job checks his background and does fingerprint, do they know and see his sealed case ? and does it affect to his job ? or the company won't see anything in his sealed record ? I really don't know about this situation. Please help me answers. Thank you

Most likely it will come up. Your brother can request a copy of the background search, this is done when he signs the paper granting them permission to do the background check.

If the case is sealed or expunged is as if it never happened. If it is sealed they can not negate him the job because of findings on his background.

Depending if the charges where expunged or dismissed then he should be ok however "sealed" they will probably still be able to see it.

It's possibly it will come up in a background check. Sometimes you need to accept that you screwed up in the past and then accept the fact that some people wont want to hire you because of it (or your brother in this case). Live and learn.

There's nothing that they can do. It's sealed they'll never know about it on a standard background check.

Normally no the records are sealed. Yes in most cases they will fingerprint. The best thing your brother can do is tell them about the incident immediatly. If he gets hired and they do find out they will fire him for lying on his app. Better to tell now than to loose it 10yrs down the road. In most cases employers understand people do stupid things when they are young...
