Legal Question in Employment Law in California
disclosing a juvenile record on an application
My question relates partly to employment law and
criminal law.
Recently, I was asked to fill out a job application and it
asked if I had ever been charged, fined, or served
probabtion for breaking the law in some way. I had a
minor juvenille violation that I was given 6 month
probation for. We sealed my record when I turned 18. I
answered the question ''no'' on the application.
My question is, when they do their authorized
background check with a Consumer Reporting Agency
(�CRA�) will my juvenille record show anything or is it as
good never having a record?
Thank you in advance for your time.

It should not show up, although if you are applying with a state or federal entity they may seek to have the records unsealed but it can only be done so by court order. I hope the job works out well for you-Martin
Re: disclosing a juvenile record on an application
-Labor Code sec. 432.7 prevents employers from asking about arrest records or participation in, any pretrial or post-trial diversion program. So the question itself may be improper. Your sealed record will likely not be discovered.
