I was hired by a temp agengy to work on a guaranteed 90 day tech support project. After work the 2nd day the company notified me that the temp agency pulled me from the project because of something on my background check. They said they would be happy to have me back if I could straighten things out with the temp agency.
I called the temp agency to get more insight as to why I was let go. I was told it was because I had a Felony & Misdemeanor on my record. I requested a copy of the background check from the company that supplied it to the temp agency. After reviewing my copy, I did see reference to both the charges. However, underneath each charge is the disposition section which listed both charges as dismissed! I was never convicted of these charges.
I called the temp agency back to let them know about their mistake. They started giving me the run around. They refused to put me back on the project even though the company I worked for still needs help and is even bringing in a 2nd group of people. Do I have a wrongful termination case against the temp agency and could I recoup the 90 days of wages I lost? Could I be entitled to other damages?
