Findings of guilt V current employment

[lpt88]

Hey all,

hypothetically speaking if I had committed a crime in 2018 and only this year 2021 finalised it all via the courts and received the following -

-CCO 15 months
-recorded without conviction

crime being ‘obtain property by deception’ whilst working within retail.

since 2020 to present I have been employed with a company within the same field - during hiring I provided genuine references and no questions regarding criminal history were asked.

My question is, if they were to find out, could they terminate me? I understand there are materials discussing employees that commit and are convicted etc DURING their employment, but none regarding crimes done in the past.
Thanks!

If you have not lied or misled your employer, they may find it hard to dismiss you purely because of past behaviour.
