Question regarding Hiring Process & Background Check?

Ok here's the situation. I just got hired at a large national chain gym. I filled out applications, emplyee disclosure papers, w2 form, and the whole 9 yards. I did give my employer permission to do drugtest and perform background and do whatever they need to do. My problem is that last November I was charged with marijuana class c misdemeanor. I completed deferred disposition and it was dismissed. So if it appears on my record it's only a charge, not a conviction. My employer has told me already that I'm hired and I'll start next week because the paperwork needs to process. I technically lied on the app on the part that asks if you hav ever been charged. What's the chance this "processing of the paperwork" will deny me my job? I mean, wouldn't you think that if I've already done the w2 thing and provided direct deposit bank info that the I'm pretty much safe. Serious opinions please...and how does this process work?


    




michr
an application is a legal document and when you sign it you state it is accurate and complete. almost all employers state clearly that they CAN terminate, with cause, for falsifying documents and/or lying on an application.

will they terminate you?
probably not but the fact that you lied does leave that possibility out there.

There's always the chance you're not getting the job. You haven't actually started working for them yet (have you?). If this is the case and they choose not to hire you, I would have the paperwork handy stating the charges have been dropped. And technically if the charges were dropped, there are no charges to report (and hope they buy it). Then it would be up to the employer to make a judgment call to keep you or let you go. Good luck

You can contact the prosecuting attorneys office to check on the disposition of your charge and how it was entered on your record.
