I was fired from a banking job in the state of wisconsin. My employee contacted me two months ago, and informed me that my crimal background check showed I had an 1988 arrest for retail theft in the state of Illinois. By this time I had been working for the bank for five months. I told them I was not aware of it. And I truly don't recall it even now.
They terminated me that day, but called me back a few hours later and said they would keep me on for 60 more days to give me a chance to settle the case. The next two months were rough. I was constantly called at home or pulled into the office at work being quetioned about the matter.
I could not afford a laywer and I have four small children with no one to leave them with while I travel to Illinois.
After my two months was up no one would tell me if they were going to keep me or not. They even took away my health insurance. I was asked twice to resign, but I refused.
Finally 3weeks later they called and fired me, but now they are saying I am fired because I lied on my job application. I am truly upset by this, because when this whole matter started they told me they knew I probally didn't remember, or didn't know about this old case.
can they do this to me?
Will I still be able to claim unemployment insurance?
