wherecan felons find jobs in mn cant pass background check?

Question

is it legal to fire some one ona sole baiss of a background check

Answer 1

You are asking two questions. One can decline to hire a felon based on a background check. Whether one can fire a felon on the SOLE basis of a background check AFTER he is hired without one is a question that a Minnesota Job Protection person should answer.

Answer 2

Yes it is legal for a company to fire you, if you do not disclose it on an application that asks if you've ever been convicted of a felony. If the application form did not ask this question, then they cannot fire you without cause. Whatever the case, Go to the nearest Dept of Employment and Economic Security office, explain your problem to an employment counseler, and ask if they know employers who will give people with a felony record a break. Many companies will, unless you were convicted of a violent crime or sex offense.
