Barring a bonafide employment contract stating otherwise...sure.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois and Ohio
Wondering if a bank officer can be terminated for a civil fraud conviction that is unrelated to their work as a bank officer. Any advice would be appreciated...
Thanks!
Not only can they be terminated, it would be a snowballs chance for them to NOT be terminated, as well and given thorough exit interview reaming and investigation as to what impact their misconduct had on the bank and if they did any fraud within the bank...What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Brush up your resume and don't look for work in the financial services industry ~ that's my advice.
I disagree.However, when you are terminated, you can file for and may be eligible to receive unemployment benefits if the conviction had nothing to do with this current employer.
They can very reasonably say they do not want you working there, and they will probably go over their books with a fine tooth comb to find out if you did anything illigal while you were with them, but since you were terminated before they found any misconduct, you very likely will be able to draw unemployment.
And if they several months from now, discover that you were embezzling from them, they cannot at that time stop your unemployment. They can file charges against you in civil court, but it will not stop your unemployment unless you are incarcerated and unavailable for work.
The misconduct they must prove to keep you from drawing is "work related misconduct." Work related at their job. They could fire you for murdering your wife. But because the murder was not a job related murder, you'd likely be able to draw unemployment while awaiting trial.
