| Post subject: | Moral Issue |
We are facing a moral issue at USRS. We took an application last Friday of a gentleman who wants to become a Surety Agent/ FRA. We want to hire him due to his qualifications (Bi-lingual, Educated and knows insurance.) However, He has a Felony dating back over ten years (DUI). According to Nebraska Dept. of Insurance and NAIC, He is eligible to be licensed as a surety underwriter (as long as he fills out a US 1033 form). We are just worried that his felony will "HAMPER" his career in this field. Any thoughts or sugestions ? |

Not sure if it is more of a legal issue rather than a moral one.... depending on the state laws and requirements, he is either in or out.... Quote: He is eligible to be licensed as a surety underwriter (as long as he fills out a US 1033 form). Quote: We want to hire him but you already said you'd like to hire him so I think you have made the moral decision, now it would just be the legal one... Quote: We are just worried that his felony will "HAMPER" his career in this field. I would venture to say that most of us have things that might and often do "HAMPER" us in the field but we get past them.... he might make you a very good agent... but then again.......... who knows????? As you are aware, this is a very volatile occupation.... Quote: He has a Felony dating back over ten years (DUI) With the conviction over 10 years in the past... it appears that he has that under control, but of course, it is still out there.... frankly, and I am sure none of us are proud of it.... most of us that have ever had a drink, probably got behind the wheel one time or another and the only reason we didn't get a DUI at that time was probably luck... I haven't done it lately but I, as many, have had our day... just luck of the draw and at my age now... I know better. |

Damn, if that was the case, I'd still be looking for a job,lol... |

When did a DUI become a felony ? In NC if you are caught driving under the influence several times (not sure the number) it can become an habitual charge, but one DUI ? Might want to check and see how that DUI became a felony. |

TEXAS ~ A first DWI is a felony if there is a person 15 years or younger in the car, otherwise the first DWI is a misdemeanor. wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_DWI_a_felony_in_Texas However I did not look to see how long this has been in affect. I do recall seeing Billboards in 2008 (in Texas) that stated DWI in Texas = Felony |

If it was just a regualr DUI, I don;t think that would be a henderance to hiring him. If this "felony" included injuries or death, or was his 3rd or 4th DUI, even 10 years ago, I would have a problem. |
