Federal human rights legislation prohibits discrimination based on certain protected grounds such as race, gender, and disability, but it does not address criminal offences. The decision to terminate an employee for committing a crime outside of work would be up to the company's own policies and relevant laws. Additionally, there is no legal requirement for a company to provide a leave of absence for jail time.
