Will a warrant show up on a pre employment background check?  i have never had issues with the law… but a couple months ago i got a speeding ticket. i went to court and opted for driving school. between school finals, work and family i totally forgot and now i have a warrant. i want to fix this as quick as possible, even in my school days i never had detention… and having a warrant is killing me. I am in the process of getting hired at a new job… but im afraid that given the circumstances i wont pass a simple background check even though i have no convictions. i need a job to pay the ticket… but i have no idea what to do. Please help me.
