Question

Can felons work for insurance company's?

Answer 1

Good question let me know!! I know that they can def work for mcdonalds!

Answer 2

It depends on many circumstances.  And it depends on the hiring policy of the insurance company.  If the insurance company has no policy against hiring felons, then it can hire you.  If it has a policy against hiring felons, then it does not have to.  An employer can justify such a policy if it can show that it has a business need to bar employees with conviction records from the job being sought.  The following three factors are weighed in determining whether such a business need exists:

1 - the nature and gravity of the offense or offenses for which the applicant was convicted;

2 - the time that has passed since the conviction and/or completion of the sentence; and

3 - the nature of the job held or sought.

I know this is a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo, but the short answer is yes, if the company is willing to hire you.
