It depends on the specific circumstances. The lawyers on the list would know more about this. I don't know all the details of Mack's situation, but I've worked on a few employment cases and honesty is the best policy if he wants to bring an action against them later. If they can show he lied in one way or another it may dilute his case - I've seen defendants lose on unfair termination and discrimination actions when the other side can prove they lied - it plays into employers' rights. Bottom line, though, I think Mack is going to be just fine and they would be very foolish to mess with him! And if they do, I hope he gets a big fat settlement! ;-) Kakki
