Part time to full time - curious about something
I’ve always been curious about something regarding Wegmans. I’ve been told that they do not do background checks or drug testing for part timers. Let’s say, for example , a part time employee works for the company for 5-10 years. They apply for a full-time position and are offered it contingent upon background check and drug testing.
Drug testing is not to be worried about but there are some past charges that might be iffy (no theft or shoplifting). Could they screw themselves by doing the background check? Not only with the full time position but their part time position as well? Even if they’ve been a good employee for 5+ years ? Me and a friend always thought about this. And the charges aren’t insane (like murder, arson, sex crimes, etc) and the charges are over 5 years old.
Would they just not give you full time and you remain part time, or would they discharge your part-time position as well?
