I was working at this place for a year and a half then i left for a year and came back as a rehire. Appling for ths job the first time i lied on my application but when i got rehire i never fill oit another application however they found out about me lying the first time and discharged me. However if i left the company and came back with out filling out an application therefore i did not lie when i was rehired legally can they dischare me. Also i lied in a 2005 application went back to the company in 2007 and they are now firing me in 2009 is it legal?
