I live in Florida, I applied for a job with a company, The interview went very well. The manager called me back and offered me the position, when I went in to meet her and fill out the paperwork for the background/ slash drug screen, i told her that i had an arrest but it was not a conviction, she continued to let me complete the paperwork, and sent me to take the drug screen . After about 2 weeks from not hearing anything back from her, I called to check on the status of everything, she avoided my calls. so eventually I called the background check company to request a copy of what they had sent to the employer, the only check that was done was the drug test, she never requested a background check after i told her about the arrest. My question is was it legal for her to deny me the job based on an arrest even though i was not convicted, (which is what that company check for when they perform a background check) Was my rights violated?
