Unlikely unless you can show that the employer acted with malice or in violation of law.
You may want to discuss this with an attorney. The background company may have liability that the employer does not.
A background check normally only checks your criminal record; if nothing was ever done in the legal system such as charges laid, convictions or trials, then no, it won't show up. However, if the person wanting the check also wants a reference from the employer who fired you for theft and/or asks why you were fired from that job, they will find out what happened.
Nope, but a reference check will do the trick. If they call your past employers for a reference check, they'll more than likely find out.
yep
That's entirely up to your employer.
They can't ask this question in this manner. A way around may be for the employer that is hiring you to ask the previous employer are you re-hireable. In most cases they only verify dates of employment and salary for legal reasons. This is the general practice.
If on your application you are asked if you have a record and you answer NO. Then you lied. For that reason you can be fired for lying. However if you answer yes, and then are hired, removing someone from his job for this reason will be hard for the employer. Added; The original answer is true only up to a point - if you are employed in a "right-to-work" state your employer can discharge you at any time for any reason.
If the employer has been fired, presumably he or she does not have to pay you at all, as he or she is no longer your employer. The employer who replaces the fired one is responsible for paying you.
It seems that if a background check is prerequisite to employment you would have been so advised. If you provided false or misleading information on your job application, and/or if your job requires a security clearance and you are denied, it would seem the employer would be within his right to fire you. Don't rely on the opinions of amateurs like me, though ..... check with an attorney.
Is a previous employer allowed to tell a prospective employer you were fired when you were not in Nevada?
My employer just fired me. This means my boss just fired me.
This is a right to work state. Your employer can fire you at any time. If you are fired after 3 months, you can probably collect unemployment. (There could be an exception if you lied on your job application and there are exceptions for other reasons.) Other states have different laws. Other nations have different laws. You will probably need to give more information on your location such as in Montana, etc.
No
