It actually depends on where you apply. This is another aspect of the process that will depend on the individual policies of the store you apply at.
Some do, some don’t.
For the stores that do use background checks, here is some stuff to keep in mind:
First, there are actually some states that don’t consider information that is more than seven years old. In other words, if your felony was eight years ago, it won’t come up in the background check.
Here are those states:
- California
- Colorado*
- Kansas*
- Maryland*
- Massachusetts
- Montana
- Nevada
- New Hampshire*
- New York*
- Texas*
- Washington*
Better yet? There are also some states that won’t look at offenses you weren’t convicted of. That means if you were tried for something but found not guilty, Marie Callender’s will not see it in a background check.
Here are the states where that is the policy:
- Alaska
- California
- Hawaii
- Indiana
- Kentucky
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- New York
Unfortunately, there are also quite a few states where they look at everything.
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- Connecticut
- DC
- Delaware
- Florida
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Louisiana
- Maine
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Nebraska
- New Jersey
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
- Ohio
- Oregon
- Rhode Island
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Utah
- Vermont
- Virginia
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
- Wyoming
If you live in one of those states, Marie Callender’s will see your entire record when they check your history.
