Jumping through hoops
I started working for a company as a travel consultant. I was almost completely through with training when they let me know that they did not have my background check completed. I was told that something in my background (that was actually expunged from my record) was showing up and they needed proof that it was paid off. I sent them proof that I paid that off, I sent proof that it was expunged from my record, I even sent record that there was nothing else on my record but that wasn't good enough. They wanted one letter stating that I had no other convictions from x-date to x-date. This is not something I could provide and no matter how much I explained this to them it didn't seem to matter. They still wanted this one letter. Now I back to square one looking for another job and starting all over again with training and getting to know a new company and everything.
Sorry. This happened to one of my family members also
Mayhe a reputable attorney could draft you said letter for a small fee? Its worth a shot so that you don't run into this type of issue again...Also, maybe s/he could inform you as to whether or not that employers' actions were actually legal; I've never heard of a situation like that... Consult also your local court office. At least this is a starting point of resolution for you. I do hope things get better for you.
I hope you never have to go through that again Good luck with your New job
It is impossible to prove a negative so I feel for your situation while having no real advice.
That isnt right to do that to someone..
Hi Stephanie, Has that ever happened before? Better to be prepared and get that letter as well as anything else you might need to cover yourself so that doesn't happen again.
Walmart is something for now, but I hope you don't give up because of that one company.
