[quote=Anonymous]I offered someone a job contingent on background check. Background check revealed a felony (foodstamp fraud) charge from 7 years ago that was DISMISSED because the value of the foodstamps was returned prior to the court date. The applicant would have been very young at this time (I did not ask his age but found it on FB). The applicant told me he also has children that would have been newborns at the time of the charge. No legal issues since then, and a stellar job performance record. I want to offer this person a chance to explain and then go to the CEO if I feel like I can give him a chance. My boss agreed, doesn't want to permanently crucify someone. HR disagrees, we are taking on a risk, and they think due to this behavior it is too risky. I am wondering if there are any legal implications we need to be considering. In DC, we could still deny employment even though the charge is dismissed right? [/quote]
