Can you be fired after working a job a month?
I have a friend who worked for this company for a month. He was on probation and his felony was agreed to a misdemeanor but currently until his 2 year probabtion is over he has to deal with the felony on his record. The company he worked for didn’t say anything, neither did he. He quit his previous job and gave his 100 to the new one because it was everything he wanted to do. Well, after a month and a week they call him into the office to tell him his background check returned.…and they can’t employ him. Is This ok? Can companies hire you on, and than terminate you if they didn’t follow the normal protocol of background check first than offering the job? #termination #management #backgroundcheck #advice
Most states are "at will employers" which means they can fire an employee at will without cause. Also be aware that a company can fire you after 1 hour, 1 day or 1 week - if they so choose; so it doesn't matter that they fired him after only 1 month. He was hired and fired at the company's discretion which is their right and prerogative.
As far as the company not following protocol of the background check in the first place - your friend would have to prove that and then determine if there is any legal precedence - a process that could prove timely and costly. He should just move on and make sure that his background information is cleared before he embarks on his next employment venture. I wish him good luck.
Yes, they can. I had a job where the background check took a long time to clear. So, they would hire people, and if there was an issue they would fire them. I am so sorry that your friend lost his job esp. since he was doing to great at it. Seems like he wants to be a good worker and I wish him the best.
