Re: Felony arrest The emplyer may have the right to terminate you-depending on several factors: if your arrest had something to do with work, if the there is a manual or contract that gives you a specific answer to this question. In additio, most employment is "at will". That means that the employer can terminate the employee for any reason or no reason as long as the termination is not for a statutorily or constitutional protected reason: age,gender race etc, or retaliation for engaging in a protected actiivity (including whistle blowing). Being indicted or arrested is not one of the protections extended to employees. In summary, under most usual circumstances, they can fire an employee forbeing arrested |
