I am an attorney licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the States of Delaware and New Jersey. My practice includes employment, business and health care law. Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey or Federal law applies.
That being said,there is no legal prohibition against your husband applying for work with his former employer at any time. He could have legally reapplied the day after he was fired. However, if he was fired for sexual harassment, I would be surprised if he was rehired. The company has no obligation to consider his application, let alone rehire him.
