What reasons would an employer have in firing someone who has declared bankruptcy?

1.68K views

I was watching a tv show where a character had to declare bankruptcy. She was told that she was required by law to disclose this to her employer. I’m not sure how much of this is based in fact, but if you had a lot of debt, wouldn’t it be beneficial for all parties involved to allow that person to keep earning an income in order to reduce that debt?

For added context, this was an Australian show so I’m not sure if these laws apply elsewhere, let alone Australia.

Do you consider the (actual or potential) employer to be an “involved party”?

How would it be beneficial to me to hire a financial advisor who can’t handle their own finances, rather than some other one?
