| simple legal safe solution all comcast had to do was put him on paid suspension pending the outcome of the trial
its totaly legal and covers their behinds
if he was found guilty, comcast has the right to seek the pay back to the day of suspension
and if he is found innocent, everything is nice and comcast might be out 10k but its a lot less than the liability of him killing someone else
unpaid suspension is also a possibility but creates liability for the company should he be found innocent for lost wages + interest. this is however not a given... depends on state law |

| In this situation, doesn't Comcast have to contact the 3rd party company that is contracting him, and tell them to suspend him? As I understand it Comcast doesn't have control over the third party contractors on who they hire, fire or work for them. |

Re: simple legal safe solution -Sue Everybody They'll sue Comcast and the contractor. Gotta go where the money is.
Probably be settled out of court. Bad publicity and all. |

Re: simple legal safe solution said by tiebird :
all comcast had to do was put him on paid suspension pending the outcome of the trial That is a possibility, if Comcast workers are unionized, and if this person was on the Comcast payroll, he was a hired contractor. IMO that does not apply under these circumstances.
The contractor who this person worked for, could, should have run a criminal background check on the people they hire.
I believe, had this been a one man outfit doing the sub work for Comcast, it would be Comcast responsibility to perform a criminal background check prior to employing contractors services.
Had this been done, there is a real good possibility two murders, may have been avoided.
