An employee was hired as a service technician by a telecommunications company to perform unsupervised in $-$home installations. On his application, he indicated that he had never been charged or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor. It was discovered in a criminal background check conducted about three months later that the man had been arrested in $2002$ for a felony yet was found not guilty. Although the man's immediate supervisor recommended that he be retained because he had been performing well, he was terminated. The reason given for his termination was that he falsified his application. Company managers decided that the company could not risk retaining him. The terminated employee sued. What should the court decide and why?
