Recommended: Employment at will and due process

In this case, Tara Kind received a promotion with the company to the position of a senior vice president. That promotion was based on her educational credentials that included an MBA, but most importantly her work history at the Friendly Digits.

Resume fraud or misinterpretation of a person’s qualification is considered as a criminal offense. Those employees who are deceptive in regards to their qualification might be considered in what is viewed as the breach of the duty of trust that is implied in all employment contracts (Winfield, 2013).

Because of this, the company can terminate her employment following application of the doctrine of employment at will. Some of the legal implications include destroying the reputation of the company and affecting the job performance of other employees, which in return will negatively affect company performance
