A conviction will not automatically bar anyone from employment.

An individualized assessment will be


made based on the job in question and consistent with business necessity. However, failure to disclose a
reportable offense will be considered a falsification of Company records and will disqualify you from
employment or continued employment, regardless of when the falsification is discovered.

DO NOT IDENTIFY a record of adult or juvenile arrest, detention or conviction that has been sealed,
expunged, annulled, erased, pardoned, or statutorily eradicated, set aside or otherwise dismissed by
court order.

below specific to your State and/or Local Ordinance before answering the criminal conviction
