What will happen? I got charge for 15 hundred and they made me sign a form to pay then back but I think they are chargin me twice the amount I honestly have no idea why I sign the paper and the police never read my rights. They all made it seems that it was to work it out but a customer was in front of me while I did it but I did put my initial that I did the transaction but the transaction was put on giftcards. But the giftcard was scan never punch in. I have an interview tomorrow can the employer find out I have a pending court date with my background check

Given the amount of the transaction this should be filed as a felony. You should always be represented by an attorney on felony matters. If an employer runs a background check they will see the arrest. You mention that you believe that they are indicating that the merchandise was twice the amount that you believed it to be. If you are relating to the paperwork regarding what they want you to pay for the civil compromise a store is legally allowed to collect an amount higher than the value, if you are commenting on the value of the gift cards alone then you should only be held accountable in the criminal court for the value of the gift card. You need to discuss the specific facts with an attorney. I offer complimentary consultations do not hesitate to contact my office.

I agree you need to consult with an attorney in your area. The arrest alone may or may not appear on a private employer background check. If the employer was a public entity (LA County etc) their background checks tend to be more detailed.
