If you have previously been arrested and charged with a crime but didn\u2019t end up getting convicted for that crime, then the answer to this question may interest you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The first thing to note is that\u00a0most employers are looking for criminal convictions. There is a reason that questions about criminal history on job applications (at least in areas where\u00a0ban the box legislation\u00a0is not enacted) are phrased as \u201cHave you ever been\u00a0<em>convicted\u00a0<\/em>of a crime?\u201d A conviction is proof of guilt in the eyes of the law. An arrest or a dismissed charge either indicate innocence or suggest that there wasn\u2019t enough evidence to bring about a conviction. Either way, employers will usually understand the difference and won\u2019t look at dismissed cases in the same way as they would at convictions.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, the question of whether a dismissed case will show up on a background check is a tricky one. In most cases, dismissals and not guilty verdicts will show on your criminal record. Cases that go as far as a charge or a criminal trial are different than cases involving arrests that never lead anywhere. In many states,\u00a0employers are not legally permitted to inquire about arrest records\u00a0or hold them against job candidates. There is no similar law or trend for dismissals.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, \u00a0candidates should be prepared for their dismissed charges to show up on an employment background check.\u00a0Unless those cases have been expunged or sealed, they are part of the public record and can, therefore, be found and reported. However, if your case did not result in a conviction, then you probably are not expected to disclose it in most employment situations.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know what employers see when they run a background check on you?
