Only in one circumstance: The person was hired and claimed to not have a criminal record.
Lies on the application (or in the process) are justification for termination with out notice or severance pay.
If the employee lied on their application that would be grounds for dismissal. Moreover, if you are in a "right to work" state an employee can be fired at the whim of the employer for any reason whatsoever.
No, they deserve to be fired for what they did. It is not illegal to fire someone for anything.
I would not think so. If you have been there for awhile. If you are a new hire, they can certainly do that. If you are applying, they can not hire you for that reason. Your husbands criminal history has nothing to do with your criminal record. It would be unlawful to fire you because your husband has a criminal record. If that were the case, then anyone married to a felon would be considered a felon too.
Yes. An employer can fire anyone who fails a drug test regardless of their criminal history. FYI, in the majority of US states an employer has the right to fire any employee as long as the employee's status is not protected under EEOC laws and regulations regarding discrimination.
If he or she is a permanant employee then the answer is no.
To terminate an employee means to fire that employee.
You can not be sure untill you have caught them in the act or they have admit it to you. You could fire them but to be a fair boss you shouldn't untill you see them do it or they tell you they have.
It depends what position the employee holds and the terms of your contract with the company.
Not if the employee told him in advance with proof.
If you are terminating an employee for cause, you can fire him and escort him out of the building immediately.
When the fire is intentionally set with a criminal intent to destroy.
An employee should not be fired for this reason. However, because most employment is at-will, an employer can fire an employee without having to give a reason.
