In at will employment states, yes. In these state, an employer can fire an employee who has tuna for lunch instead of ham. They need no reason to fire you. In all states, if you are employed in a position where you handle money, accounts, or are required to maintain a certain level of responsibility, then yes. The bankruptcy demonstrates for the employer that you have a certain level of irresponsibility in your life, and can terminate your employment, especially those employers who obtain a credit report on you prior to your initial higher.

There is no good clear answer. In "at will" employment states, your employer can fire you for no reason or any reason. The Bankruptcy Code provides that debtors cannot be discriminated against for filing bankruptcy, but there are no cases amplifying the meaning of that section in an employment context. The only exception would be where a security clearance or a bond is required for a job, in which case, the bankruptcy would make the person ineligible for the job.

Sure. In or out of bankruptcy, you are an employee at will. The employers will. And your own.

No. It is a misconception that an employer cannot terminate an employee without specific reason. The employee may have grounds to file suit against an employer if it can be proven that he or she were discriminated against under the EEOC laws and regulations.


Could a financial employee lose their bonding if they file for bankruptcy?

according to our corporate attorney, under 11 USC sec 525 an employer cannot terminate an employee because that employee filed for bankruptcy. however in regards to financial institution employees, there could be an issue if being bonded is a job requirement and that employee does not qualify to be bonded because of the bankruptcy. if the bonding company will allow the employee to maintain their bond if they file, than the employee would be protected under the above stated code. basically, it is up to the insurance company offering the coverage to the financial institution and their requirements for maintaining fidelity bond capabilities.

How do you file a lawsuit against a former employer for wrongful termination without hiring an attorney?

Well it sucks but there is only one "at cause state" and is Montana. Every other state in this country is an "at will state", meaning that an employer/employee have the will to work policy, at any given time they can terminate with/without a reason, although they don't have to have a reason file unemployement and see what reason they give them and from there an investigation will be done, but if you feel you have been discriminated against then you file a complaint with the EEOC, then file a lawsuit against employer. The only way to prove wrongful termination is discrimanation.

No because if they're undocumented they should'nt even be working there and it's illegal to have an undocumented employee so you can get in trouble as well.
