Lawsuits are quite intriguing in the world of employment. While we have become more of a litigious society and one that is connected to technology, almost nothing is really a secret anymore. Lawsuits are public and like credit reports, are something that employers do look at nowadays to protect the company and any individual employees. While the justice system was available to you regarding the labor law violations allegedly committed by your former employer, it can come back to haunt you in terms of whether the employer decides to pass on your application for another applicant. A lawsuit doesn't make you ineligible for employment per se, but it will be one factor for a potential employer to consider.
