Hello i just been offered a job at a hospital but im a little worried about my backround check, i just got a speeding ticket will they hire me if i have one? To my knowledge its not a misdemeanor in ca what do you think
Like.....a normal speeding ticket?

Yes just a normal speeding ticket. I was going 10 miles over the limit.

I think you're okay

Not a problem....Unless you like ran from the cops and hit and killed a pedestrian and had to be stopped by spike strips and were found to have a bag of heroin on you.......

Actually I just made that up,I'm pretty good,aren't I?

I've gotten multiple citations and moving violations for excessive speed while driving in California and it never affected my ability to obtain licensure or employment. Speeding citations do not become a part of your criminal background in CA unless they turned into bench warrants because you failed to pay.

Speeding tickets are usually considered to be "infractions" and when you pay the fine, technically you're pleading guilty (or at least no contest) and paying the bail/fine as punishment for the crime of speeding that you just plead guilty to. Here's the thing... while they're part of your criminal background, they're so low in seriousness, and since nearly everyone gets them, they're basically ignored. They'll look for misdemeanors and felonies that prohibit you from working or patterns of low-level criminality that suggest some kind of moral turpitude or something like that. I highly doubt that a single speeding ticket would prevent anyone from getting a job that doesn't involve driving...Now if that "speeding ticket" was actually a reckless endangerment and you were released or posted bail... then you might have a problem. Maybe.

They will probably hire you right away as you have obviously demonstrated that you can get yourself to work on time !

You should be fine. You may want to double-check that it's NOT a misdemeanor. Also, some employers may want you to disclose and/or write a statement about your ticket--mine did even though it was an just an infraction. Yes, I still got the job Also, in CA, you need to report any ticket that is over $300 to the BRN, regardless of whether it is an infraction or misdemeanor. The last thing you want to do is deal with the BRN tapping you on the shoulder asking, "why didn't you tell us about this?" BRNs are far less understanding and forgiving than employers.Best of luck!
