Wrongfully terminated (Employment & Labor Law)

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 19:59:00 GMT

:confused

I was working for a commerical Real Estate company from 09/2004 to 02/2005. I was hired with them from a temp agency after 12 business days. I was the Receptionist. I was accused today of stealing the resumes from the mail back, when #1 I distribute the mail, #2 I didn't receive any resumes today, and #3 Thay couldn't even show me any proof. The office mananager said someone told her her that a co-worker said I told them I was going to take the resumes for the position that was posted, and the mananager said he personaly saw 4 resumes come in today, when he never came to my desk, and then in the same breath the office mananager said that a co-worker said I was going to steal the resumes. I questioned the three statements given to me and asked for proof, but was told that they didn't have to show my anything, and they felt it would be best if I resigned. I told them I'm not resigning for something I didn't do, and if that's how they feel then they should fire me. So the office mananager said OK I leave them no choice, but to terminate my position. The company is aware that I have a heart condition, and that I was 23 days away from having a surgical procedure done. I was the only African american person left in the office.
It was another young lady there that just resigned her postion as of 02/17/05. And she was there for a year. I feel that I was wrongfully terminated and need to know what to do, because now I'm labled a theaf.

  • It is only illegal if you were terminated because of your disability, race or gender. An employer can terminate an employee for any reason, as long as the reasons are for illegal actions, such as discrimination. If you feel that you are a victim of discrimination, you can learn more about the topic at www.eeoc.gov (http://www.eeoc.gov). That site also gives you information about filing a complaint.
