What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
My girlfriend was an executive secretary for a construction company in Oregon. She has been named in a lawsuit filed by a material supplier against her former employer. She filled out the credit application in the owners name and signed her own with the phrase "For" then the owners name per his instructions. She was also the main point of contact for the account as the owner had other concerns pulling his attention.
We have attempted to have her name removed from the lawsuit, but the supplier has refused.
How can this company even do this??? To an employee??
The construction company was a sole proprietorship at the time that the credit application was filled out. Five months later they incorporated. No new credit application or contract was requested by the supplier after they were informed of the change.
Isn't there any protection for employees filling out paperwork??
She also sign the same way under a section of the application dealing with personal guarantee of payment. This she signed the same, "For" then the owners name. This was at the bottom of the last page. To our dismay, all of the copies of the application that have been provided by the material supplier have that portion of the application cut off by either photo copy or fax machine. So it appears that she has signed her name only.
