Can I sue my previous employer because I was fired because of record? |
I was working at a janitorial job and had disclosed my criminal record first and foremost to him but then three months later was fired in part of my criminal record and now the other employees also know can I sue for defamation of character or slander?? Employment is at will unless you are in a union. Your criminal record is public knowledge so no you cannot file suit for defamation of character or slander. If it's true, you can't sue Ask the fair housing and employment office. They did not defame your character or slander you as the information is truthful. Slander or defamation of your character would be if they said false information about you to cause you not to be able to get a job or promotion. Did you disclose this information on a job application? If you did not, or if on any of your employment paperwork you did not disclose this and the information came up during your background check then they can withdraw the offer of employment and terminate you. If you did put it down on the application form and were truthful then I would speak to H.R. and find out why the termination happened. When speaking to H.R. I would also mention that you are aware that the manager is discussing your personal background with other employees, in breech of your right to privacy, and you would like it stopped. Talk to HR. Your criminal record is not private however. There is usually a probationary period that is 3 months when a new employee is hired. After that time, the employer has the right to end the contract or to continue to employ the person. You don't have a leg to stand on. no. it isn't defamation because it is true. |
