I agree Rick that’s the case in most jobs that don’t have union protections (as well as pilots still on probation) but after that I’m just not seeing how a firing for being accused, but not convicted, of a crime can likely stick as Airbear alluded to.
Paid admin leave would be the smart choice if i were mgmt in that situation. It would allow me to appease the public (in high profile) as well as protect the rights of the accused until the court adjudicated the case.
Not to mention that would be much less costly than getting ones butt kicked after the fact in arbitration.
