Pleaded guilty but was dismissed in Virginia. Do I have to disclose the misdemeanor in an interview or asked?
Will a dismissed case affect my chances of getting hired ?

Management deleted hours work prior to terminations.
answered on Nov 25, 2020
More facts are needed to analyze your situation. Arizona is an at will employment state, meaning you can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. The only protection you can usually get from a legal standpoint is if the termination is based on your race, religion, sex, etc.
