QUESTION
Can your job fire you if you were arrested for a DUI but have not been convicted?
Asked on Feb 21st, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Oklahoma
More details to this question:
The court date is in two weeks with or without an attorney. I still have my drivers license but, my employer just fired me. My job takes me on the road for my employer as a field service person. Is it legal to fire me before my conviction? I am employed in Oklahoma and the DUI happened out of state after working hours for the company.

Oklahoma is a right to work state. If an employer wants to fire you it can, regardless of the reason, unless you have an employment contract in writing. The only reasons it cannot fire you are age, sex, or race discrimination.
