Can a company terminate me for a felony on my background check if they hired me prior to checking it
Full Question:
I recently received a job offer. Prior to receiving the offer, the company requested my date of birth and social security number for the purpose of conducting a background check. I have a domestic battery felony on my record, but I have not filled out an employment application and therefore did not have the opportunity to list the felony on an application. If my offer is not contingent on the background check, and I accept the offer and start working, can the company terminate me after I accept this offer if they decide to run a check after my employment started?

Answer:
Indiana is considered an employment at-will state. At-will employees may be terminated for any reason or no reason, so long as it's not illegal or a violation of public policy (e.g., race or sex discrimination).
