I have a pbj that is open will it show on background check?

Question

I have not finished my probationary periodand told them it was dismissed. How will it show when they look it up? It was for a traffic offense. How can they find out if the case is still pending and how will the disposition of the case show?

Answer 1

A PBJ should not be utilized against you in an employment background check, especially if it was for a traffic offense.  The case should be found by the background screening company, but most likely not delivered to the employer.

Answer 2

Technically, it will show activity with the probation department but it wont show any convictions. Unfortunately, the PBJ will remain on your record. On the plus side, with no convictions involved, it wont harm you.

Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you
