Salas v Sierra Chemical Co 198 Cal.App.4th 29 (3) (2011) Review granted Long-term seasonal worker Salas not rehired following on-the-job injury. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer Salas used counterfeit social security account number to gain job, but Sierra did not learn this until after lawsuit filed. Salas sued–disability discrimination and refusal to hire. Defendant’s MSJ granted, affirmed. [1] After-acquired evidence which would have resulted in firing is a complete defense in wrongful termination cases, extended here to hiring cases. Oral statement by supervisor, no firing for “SSN discrepancy,” does not create triable issue of fact on Sierra’s policy not to hire those who falsify SSNs. [2] Salas’s using false documents bars claim under ‘unclean hands’ where misrepresentation “goes to the heart of the employment relationship.” [3] SB 1818 (2001) limiting effect of federal anti-illegal immigration law, applies to other wise valid employment cases awarding back pay. It does not exculpate misrepresentation. San Diego personal injury attorney
