OT - Explaining periods of unemployment on an application

[Tim Bogart]

No.  Maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough.  No, they did not terminate 
people for having a brush with the law and being found innocent or acquitted or 
for whatever reason, were not convicted.  They terminated those people for 
FAILING TO DISCLOSE their brush with the law, and the accompanying details on 
the application.  Understandable in my mind.

Hold on.. they fired people that were ACQUITTED of a crime?  That seems a bit 
too far :(
If a court can't find them guilty how can an employer?

I like your response.  At a company with which I worked for many years, many 
years ago used to send me email on a daily basis listing folks who had been 
terminated.  Of those, many were terminated because of falsehoods on their 
applications.  And of those, not nearly, but ALL were due to information omitted 
regarding some crime that the individual had committed.  And they ran the gambit 
from robbery to murder.  Yes, murder, believe it or not. But in fairness, of 
those, they involved folks who had been tried for murder and had been exonerated 
by some means (found not guilty, thrown out due to mistrial or other reasons) 
but the point is that they had concealed the facts regarding criminal activities 
(I mean seriously, how can you forget to list something like  that, or how can 
you think it somehow doesn't qualify as something a potential employer would not 
be interested?) that are easily checked.
