Add Comment Question: I've worked as a contract employee for 3.25 yrs. Can my employer terminate my contract if they discover I have a criminal record? If so can they terminate me during my contract or only on renewal.. I renew every 3 months Answer: The employer can dismiss you at any time and the issue would be how much notice or pay in lieu of notice you are owed. If you receive a termination letter, whether or not connected to your criminal record, please give us a call at the number below.
