Add Comment Question: I worked for a company for 14 years, and on October 13, 2017 I was charged with a DUI. On of 14, 2017 I notified my employer of my charge and was assured that my employment was secure. I did provide my employer of all details and disclosed my conviction on November 9, 2017. From October 2017 to January 2, 2018 I received no indication warning of my termination, however on January 2 I was terminated because of my DUI charge a.nd received no compensation. What am I legally entitled to and what is the best course of action should I take due to the fact that the company has previous history of two other employees charged and convicted of DUI and still employed with the company.
