What is the name of your state? NJ
This is a case of you cant fire me, I quit.
As a probationary employee he was told he would not be retained after his probationary period was over. In lieu of this he submitted a letter of resignation, finished his probationary period (3 weeks) and then left. On his current jobs application was the question "have you ever been terminated or forced to resign". He answered the question as no as he didnt feel that not being retained off probation was considered termination. He also listed that employer along with supervisors name and telephone number on the app. There are notes in the margin that indicate someone called and spoke to the supervisor when doing the reference check. This all took place in 1986. Now in 2002 they say that he lied on his application and is being terminated. Is there any recourse in this? Can employers pull things out of their hat 15 years later?
