Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
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?
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.
