Eric Myers of Sumter County, Florida, thought he had a found a good job opportunity at TooJay’s delicatessens. He spent two days interviewing for a management position and was told by a company official that the job was his, pending a background check. About a week later Myers was notified that TooJay’s had rescinded its offer of employment—because the background investigation revealed that he had filed for bankruptcy in January 2008. Myers is now suing TooJay’s on grounds of bankruptcy discrimination. Emploters are prohibited from firing employees who declare ankruptcy, but the law relating to potential hires is less clear.
