Add Comment Question: I applied for a job. The job description did not mention anything about a criminal background check. I went for an interview and everything went very well and no mention of a criminal background check. The job offer was then submitted only then did they say they wanted a criminal background check. At that point I mentioned to them that I had a charge from 2015. They then recended the job offer, I do not feel this is a fair process as this requirement was never brought to light by the recruiting agency nor the potential employer. What does the Ontario labour lawith say about this? Answer: The employer can make its offer of employment conditional upon you not being charged with a criminal offense. Therefore, the employer was entitled to rescind its offer of employment. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
