Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Can you be terminated from employment for a disqualifying crime that has been expunged/dismissed per pc 1203.4?
2 Answers from Attorneys
If you are an at will employee, you can be terminated for almost any reason. If you lied on your application, and your were applying for a job that involved state licensing, the employer may have a good reason to terminate you.
Yes. In general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or fired any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice, other than for illegal discrimination, harassment or retaliation under the ADA disability, Civil Rights [age, race, sex, ethnic, religion, pregnancy, etc], Whistle-blower, or similar statutes. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy.
