    Depending on what position you are applying for, it is possible that the employer is prohibited by law from hiring you until these charges are resolved. At least in my state, there are very strict regulations for some health care workers as to what their CORI check can and cannot include.

    We have no way of knowing what the employer will do. Sorry. Crystal ball is out of commission.
