Some time ago, I was arrested for being in possession of an uncontrolled substance. I am not ashamed to expose the details due to so many students go thru the very same problem when juggling school & work. Anyways, I was advised to undergo a drug diversion program and present proof of enrollment in front of the judge. However, when it came time to show proof. The judge called my name and without warning had the balief shackle me and detained. Although, I was unable to make the call to alert my supervisor that I had gotten arrested at court, my immediate family, had alerted my supervisor of the chain of events that occurred on that day. I was not freed til 4 days later and was not let go til Friday, the end of that week. Since then, I have made several attempts to contact my supervisor with no avail. Would that mean that not only did I get incarcerated but fired all in that same week? Please advise.....(biting my nails all the way thru my knuckles).

say goodbye to your job. that is why your supervisor is not answering the phone. he should let you know that you are fired. he is not man enough to talk to you and let you know why you where fired

Unfortunately, even false arrests and charges, even when dismissed, have ruined careers.
Many documented cases.
Generally, people always harbor doubts.
Start looking. You can rest assured that your former employer will not, can not, bring up your arrest in a reference. They had no part in that.
A new employer may find it. Nothing you can do about it, except be honest. No lie can cover it up.
If asked on an application, you may have to list it. If you can, place a note, "Details on a separate sheet", then add a sheet to the application. You may even prepare the sheet ahead of time, with the details and explanation. Have it with you when filling out an app.
Good luck.

Depends on the rules of your employer. If they state that you cannot have arrests in your background or while you're employed, then you are out of luck, and out of work. Also, if you didn't have time to take for the days that you were in prison, you could be fired. It really depends on where you work and their requirements, but I wouldn't assume you were fired. I'd make sure that you speak to your supervisor, or just show up to work if you get to him in time.

I' somewhat taken aback that the warrant changed into no longer considered "stale" years in the past. maximum jurisdictions do not carry unserved warrants that lengthy till the crime is somewhat severe. Over that era of time witnesses have possibly moved or died. info would were lost, destroyed or trashed. analyze records would no longer be accessible and the investigators have probable forgotten each and each of the records. it truly is basically a craps shoot, yet my wager is that no matter if it really is except a heinous crime that costs will be dropped.

You may want to put on your most positive attitude and be in the boss' office as early as you can, to sort things out with him/her.
What is past is past. It is most important that you pick yourself up and keep going in the right direction. You have learned and profited from your poor decisions. Don't live there any more.
Move on!
Note: If you concentrate on how you are making a positive contribution to your employer (and those around you), it will go much better for you.
That said: Good Fortune to You.
Remember - every set-back is a set-up for a come-back. (There's a book out there with that title : it might be good reading it at some point.)

I'm afraid your canned...yes you can be fired ..now if you had worked something out before you went to court,but you didn't know.this is not like school and some one can write you a note...this is the real world.people don't usually not show up for work cause the judge took you in to custody.this is not to be take lightly.CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE IS A FELONY

You could lose your job but your employer HAS to contact you to let you know that you are not longer thier employee. Unlike what the girl that answered the question first said, the employer can not just ignore your phone calls. Like I said before, he HAS to contact you to let you know that you have been let go! Hope that helped!

First of course there is more to the story of why you were taken into custody,
but anyway, of course you can be fired for not reporting to work.
