Criminal convictions and applying for jobs.


Recommended Posts

I do believe that some occupations simply bar you from that profession if you have a criminal conviction.

 

But there should be some common sense.

 

If you punched someone 20 years ago on a dancefloor on a drunken night out, and you are now a vicar who speaks to old ladys and strokes their pussys then clearly you are no longer a threat.

 

Is there common sense?

Well it different factors would be taken into consideration in relation to crime. What crime was committed, how long ago and what you have done since your criminal conviction.

Of course it is also in relation to the job so different matters and situations will vary. Whether other candidates are also competent will be taken into consideration too.

Depends on the pussy he's stroking and if permission has been granted.

Yes thankyou for the vulgarity

 

I was talking about their little furry pussys

 

The ones with 4 legs, that go meeow and kill smaller animals

 

Aaah, but why do they have these pussies? Is it so Teresa May can't deport these old ladies for terrorism offences? In which case you could be refused work for associating with known criminals alhough being on Teresa May's target list could work in your favour.

If they ask and you don't declare it you can be done for obtaining money through fraud or deception or sometyhing similar I believe if they find out, but if they aren't going to CRB check you just sack it off. HTH

 

 

Hi

 

where we work, last year a guy was charged with the of taking 'precuniary advantage,' as he had false qualifications which were not actually seen as not required to be seen, but were noted on his application. it was clear he had been sacked but most were unsure why. A friend from HR advised us in confidence.

 

=========================

 

FYI: The offence was created by section 16[2] of the Theft Act 1968. At the time of its repeal it read:

 

(1) A person who by any deception dishonestly obtains for himself or another any pecuniary advantage shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.

(2) The cases in which a pecuniary advantage within the meaning of this section is to be regarded as obtained for a person are cases where:-

 

(a) . . .

(b) he is allowed to borrow by way of overdraft, or to take out any policy of insurance or annuity contract, or obtains an improvement of the terms on which he is allowed to do so; or

© he is given the opportunity to earn remuneration in an office or employment, or .. from wikipedia.co.uk
