Character reference
6 Answers
Hello,
One of my staff is due to be sentenced in the court next month for burglary, he has previous for assault.
While he has been working in my department he has been very hard working, reliable etc. In order tgo try and avoid a custodial sentence he has asked me to write him a character reference which I am more than happy to do, however I am not sure how to go about it as I've never had to do one for someone in his 'situation'
Any suggestions would be gratefullyt accepted
TIA

You can only speak as you find, or refuse to write it.
If he didn't assault or burgle you you have no grouch with him.
If he did these things in the past to someone else, he may change embrace the chance to reform. A positive reference may show his willingness to reform.
On the other hand he may have behaved while with you just to get the reference.

He came to us via an agency and has never hidden his past from either me, or my immediate Manager.
From what he says, the burglary was a drunken prank that went too far. He pleaded guilty immediatly and is now determined put it behind him and try and get a decent job for the sake of his wife and young daughter. As I said earlier, he iks an excellent worker, and I'd even earmarked him as a potential Team Leader.

The day he's in court I'm managing a new project so me being there is out of the question unfortunatly, it also means I'll need a newbie from the agency.
As Lil O'lady say's all I can do is say what he's been like since he started with us. Registering with an agency was his only way of getting work. At other interviews he's been on as soon as he mentioned his past he's been refused employment so this is his chance to go straight.
