Shane English School. Japan Do not Check Teachers Criminal Records!?

We Answered:

I don't see a question here, perhaps you should post this online in a rating site for English teachers of ESL abroad.

Also, this could have been better situated in another category.

Sounds like you had a tough time of it in Japan.

How is it legal for a company to deny employment to a convicted felon?

We Answered:

Well, I don't know where you get your information, but it is completely LEGAL to ask questions about felony convictions on an application. Here's the deal...I can ask you and require you to answer the question on our application about previous convictions. From that, I can ask you to give me further details in an interview. At that point, I cannot simply disqualify you as an applicant based on your answers alone UNLESS your conviction can be considered a risk or threat to the company or its employees. Let's say, for instance, that you have a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon. I have every RIGHT and EXPECTATION as an employer to PROTECT MY EMPLOYEES! If I choose to hire you and you go off the deep end at work, become angry at a fellow co-worker and become physically combative, I have placed my employee in harm's way and can be sued! Let's say you were convicted of embezzlement...again, I have the RIGHT to protect my COMPANY. I am not going to hire you if you will be around any money, company or customer property that could be worth money, etc. I don't have to hire you at a risk to myself or my employees. If you have a misdemeanor or even felony related to drugs (let's say dealing or just possession of) and I decide that it's not an issue, I can choose to hire you. But again, unless you can PROVE that I chose NOT to hire you based SOLELY on the fact that you had a conviction for drugs, you are out of luck.

Judy hit the nail on the head in her post. She really did. You did the crime, and you have to do the time, even if it means after your sentence is completed. Employers have an obligation to keep their employees safe. Enough said.
