My son was terminated from his job for a probation violation he is in jail they refused work release

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 or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.

That being said, if your son cannot go to work because the authorities refused a work release, then your son does not have an employment matter, he has a criminal law matter. Unless your son has a contract with his employer that would give him the right to a job even if he is unable to work or cannot obtain a work release, or if his employer is somehow responsible for his wrongful incarceration, there would be no claim against his employer.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me at the below address(es) or number.
