Legal Question in Employment Law in Washington

Re: employment

Merry is correct, but while you are writing, you might point out that not only were you not convicted (and the application only asked for convictions) but a misdemeanor is not a felony.

Another place you might go for guidance with this situation is Offender Employment Services, which is a division of Employment Security. I know; you were not convicted, so you are not an offender. However, I have found them very helpful in understanding what the law is and what protections may be available for those trying to overcome problems with their records.

Re: employment

You could write to the head person and explain that you answered the question asked correctly. They didn't ask you about charges.

I don't think they can do anything, but you can try contacting the Human Rights Commission.

Good luck,
