Ihad a friend to get fired from a job for something he didn't really do in his pass. but he say he did not put this on his application. and once the company did a background check, and this came up, they fired him after working there for years. i feel if they had of did this background check before, they should have found this then. he must have been doing a good job, if this was not work related and it didn't have anything to do with his job.do you think this is fare?

Well when there is a question like that on an application it is best to answer it honestly. Most times it doesn't matter...but if left unsaid it is considered a cover up and therefore untrustworthy.
I he didn't do it...he should have cleared his name. It is not too late. They are just the rules of employment....a hard lesson.

It depends. There may be a wrongful termination case here. Did they just do a background check on him? Or did they go back and check all their employees? Also, was there a specific reason for them to do the check in the first place? (ie someone ratted on him). If they just did it on him, for no reason other than to find an excuse to fire him, then he might have a possible lawsuit

Tell your friend to get to his union rep or union steward right away. Someone needs to check the contract, if there is one, and see if there's a time limit on running background checks.
Act quickly; many places will have a pretty tight time frame in which to file any kind of grievance.

you have to disclose anything asked of you on an employment application. purposefully omitting information is lying and usually does carry a zero tolerance, regardless of how much time has passed. the employer has to look at the risk to themselves. however, if he didn't do what they accused him of, then he needs to fight it in court. your friend needs a good employment law attorney. tell him good luck! fight the system!!

He can file a "Wrongful Termination" lawsuit if he can prove that he didn't do what he did, or that it was not serious enough for such action to be taken.
