Add Comment Question: I have been working for a company for over 5 years and I recently received an email saying I didn’t submit a criminal reference check and it was a condition of my employment. I don’t remember this and I was never asked until now. On my record I have two convictions for theft under $5000 that are over 10 years old. I am concerned what my organization might do and what my rights are? Answer: Given that you have worked successfully at this company for 5 years, I believe you have a viable argument that the company cannot now terminate your employment due to this requirement (unless it's a statutory requirement for the job). I recommend you contact our firm to schedule a consultation to discuss your rights in more detail.
