Can an employee be dismissed for non-declaration of past misconduct?
An employee’s departure from an organisation is not always on good terms. A prospective employer who comes to know about this may have some reservations about employing the job applicant, irrespective of what led to the breakdown of the relationship with the previous employer. While the job seeker does not have to refer to this in the CV, the issue may very well come up in the job interview. Being evasive at this stage is likely to be more problematic. But how far does the duty to disclose go?
