Just ran a background check on myself...Never been arrested or have any criminal charges, but 3 non traffic violations show up, one of which was dismissed. So I have an open container and noise violation from 2008 & 2009..two minor things I just paid a small fine for..Is this going to be a problem when they run my background check in May? This is for a SA position in New York..Thanks a lot guys

No big deal but next time use search function becuz this also has been beaten to death
yeah sorry about that, most of the other threads regarding this had to do with past jobs & references, I was soley concerned with violations...So you don't think these will be a problem? The thing that concerned me was HR mentioned they can rescind the offer pending a negative background check and if that were the case I would be completely screwed for the summer.
You're good they aren't serious offenses in the slightest so don't worry
