SIS - SUSPENDED IMPOSITION OF SENTENCE

An SIS, or suspended imposition of sentence is just that. The court tries to give you a break and says, "look, if you are good and stay out of trouble for a prescribed period of time, we will suspend imposing a sentence on you for the crime you have committed".

There is usually a duration put on the Suspended Imposition of Sentence that is known as the probation. A person generally has an SIS when they plead guilty or plea bargain for a crime. The courts are giving a person the benefit of a doubt as to whether this was an isolated incident or just one episode in a pattern of many. If a person gets into trouble again during their probation period, then the court can punish the person for the crime that they committed previously.

If the person does not get in trouble during their probation period, then the crime is forgiven and the person is not convicted. In most cases, it is a "generous" second-chance to prove you can be better in exchange for making your previous charge "go away".

Do you have to list an SIS or suspended imposition of sentence on job applications if they are asking for felony convictions?

If granted an SIS - Suspended Imposition of Sentence the Court views the matter as a conviction until such a time that a successful "Discharge Order" is signed releasing you from the Court's jurisdiction. It is strongly suggest that the probationer be honest on all applications and provide further clarification to the potential employer if necessary.

Once the sentence has been completed successfully and a "Discharge Order" signed, your record for this felony is sealed and you may then rightfully answer "no" to that question on applications.
