If you have been working remotely from home, then disclosure of the DUI to your line manager should be easier as there is less chance of 'office gossip' doing the rounds.
I would certainly ask your line manager the 64 million dollar question there and then about your job prospects. As I said in my previous post - I do not know what your occupation is, but it is unlikely you will be looking at dismissal.
Most people get the sack for something in the work place that impacts on their employer. If say for example you were stopped and breathalysed in work's time driving a company vehicle, then you are more than likely looking at serious workplace misconduct, whereby it will result in potential dismissal.
If the DUI happens outside of work, then the matter is a different kettle of fish. Typical employers will look at their own reputation in these circumstances and whether the offence has any impact on the organisation and their stakeholders/customers.
If you have access to a union rep, it might be good just to bare them in mind if your employer does take some internal action against you. All ligitimate employers cannot just dismiss staff for no good reason - they will have to go down a particular route if they treat this as misconduct. In most cases, they should arrange a meeting or hearing for you to attend in the future.
At this moment in time, you need to focus on your court appearance. The employer should treat this as a 'welfare' issue and offer you some support. If they decide to do your legs there and then when you disclose the DUI, I would ask myself - ''are they really a good employer to work for anyway?''
