new company taking over contract

[JLoftin]

​

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I work for a company that has a contract on a Federal Detention Facility. This company gave me a 30 day unpaid suspension for alleged racial slurs. Meanwhile, a new company is due to take over the contract as of November 1st. This company chose to retain the current Project Manager that handed out the discipline action. Can the new company chose not to accept my application that was turned in before this incident or can they later terminate me based on discipline meted out from previous company? Does everything that occured with outgoing company leave with them or does your file go to the new company.

There is NO obligation for the new company to consider or even to hire you, disciplinary action or not.

Does everything that occured with outgoing company leave with them or does your file go to the new company.

Depends on whether the incoming company asks for the files and if the outgoing company provides them.
You can be assured that any negative comments on you will likely get to the incoming company. I wouldn't rely on 'hiding out'.
