Does the City conduct background checks?

Your signature on the employment application authorizes the City of Oviedo to request criminal conviction records from State and Federal agencies, and employment and educational information/verification from your existing/previous employers and educational institutions, and credit history check (where applicable). The City requires that you disclose whether you have ever been convicted, pled guilty, pled nolo contendere to any criminal offense. If you have ever been convicted, pled guilty or pled nolo contendere to any criminal offense, you will need to attach a separate sheet giving offense, date, county, state and disposition for each offense. If applying online, fax criminal history information to 407-971-5802, attention Human Resources, or email us your criminal history information. By placing your signature on the application and not submitting a separate sheet explaining the criminal history, you are stating that you have never been convicted, pled guilty or pled nolo contendere to any criminal offense. A criminal record does not constitute an automatic bar to employment and will be considered only as it relates to the job in question.
