Can you get fired for having a case pending in court with an issue that happened after you were hired?

Answer

An employer can fire you for numerous reasons. If your employer is firing you for a pending court case, he/she should be aware that this is as yet an unproven allegation. However, your employer may be letting you go because of the negative publicity or image the company has suffered. If the case involves wistle blowing, (turning the employer in for violations of the law) they may not seek punitive action against you, otherwise, you could be in trouble.
