click for cori check What things can an employer not ask you?All the employers are not allowed to ask you about arrests, detentions, or any violations of law from which no conviction resulted. In fact,you don’t need to tell an employer about any expenditures for which you were not found guilty . What if I did bad things a long time ago? Employers also cannot ask about misdemeanors where the date of conviction or end of incarceration, whichever is later, happened five or more years ago, with no convictions since then. You are not required to tell your possible employers anything about your delinquency cases. Nor do you have to inform them that you were a “Child in Need of Services”. (Child in Need of Services), as long as the case was not transferred to Superior Court for criminal prosecution. If the criminal record was sealed what it means to say? The good news is that once a record is sealed, only those within the criminal justice system are allowed to see it. Law enforcement and judges can still see it, but for nearly everyone else it is as if the charge doesn’t exist. There are some criminal records in MA that can be sealed. When the record is sealed, most business will not be able to view it when doing a CORI check. Btw- You do not have to tell employers about criminal records that have been sealed! How do you make your record sealed? Have your misdemeanor convictions been closed for 10 years and your felony convictions been closed for 15 years? If they have then you are eligible for your criminal record to be sealed. Definiton: When the case closes either on the person’s last day of prison, parole, and or probation or any of the above that may came last. You filling out a form and mailing it to the office of the commissioner of probation in Boston. The convictions should be sealed Phone number: 617-727-6558 And what is the amount of time this will take? You wouldn’t get any waiting period, but you would have to produce details showing that a “compelling governmental interest” is present, or some other genuine causes for sealing the record. For you a main good reason could be that the expenditures are obstructing from finding employement or housing.
