I can think of many cases where it could be your employers business that you were arrested:

1. You're going to miss work because you're in jail.

2. You were arrested for a crime that's related to your work. Like, money laundering or fraud if you work at a bank. Or having sex with a minor if you're a teacher.

3. You work in a field that requires lawful behavior from employees at all times preserve the integrity of the organization. Like, say, law enforcement.




Being arrested doesn't mean you are guilty of a crime, that's the issue.


Yes, but your employer still has a PR mess that they have to mop up while you and the criminal justice system figure that out.
