I could use your advice.
Just over 4 years ago I made a stupid mistake, I was convicted of a drink driving offence (dr10) received an 18 month ban and a fine. I asked my solicitor if I needed to notify my employer, to which she advised "only if you are required to drive for work", which I don't. So I did not notify them, I hid my shame and didn't tell a soul in the office.
A recent look at my employee handbook however states that I must notify HR immediately about any convictions.
I work in back office operations at an investment bank. I'm terrified, I should notify them but will I lose my job if I do?
