Here in the States, potential employers are not allowed to ask how the former employment was terminated. They can only seek character references. No law prohibits employers from giving thorough info on former employees to anyone who inquires. Former employees have zero expectation of privacy regarding their work record, attendance, attitude, skill, or disciplines. EMployers who express no falsehoods about a former employee have zero liability for defamation.
What is your reason for the topic -the potential market for suit?
They need a good reason to fire you.
Most landlords have background checks ran on the potential renter. Also references are a good thing to have, there should be no reason for not renting.
Nothing?? No.. better... tell them why you were arrested and deal with the consequences if the reason you were arrested was because you were doing something wrong! its your fault.. you got caught
Unfortunately, if you are an at-will employee (no union affiliation, no contract), your employer can terminate you for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all.
It would depend on whether you were fired for a serious reason. If you had been made redundant then the truth would be the right answer. If you had committed a sackable offence, then you have a dilemma. Your new employer may seek references and the offence would come to light. If the offence was not too serious tell the new employer and hope!
If you were doing your job there would be no reason for your employer to threaten to fire you.
An employer can dismiss an employee at any time for any reason or no reason, except when the firing violates a statute or contract.
