i didnt steal but they were planning to take action

the manager told people i was going to be fired for altering a check/stealing money...

it is true that they were going to suspend me, but the fact that i stole is not true. the suspension is pending investigation and the allegation that i stole is absolutely not true.

im outraged that she told people this information who had no right to know.

My response:

If you have reliable witnesses that will agree to testify concerning the oral statements made to them by the manager, then yes, you have a viable cause of action for "slander per se". Damages are "presumed" when someone has been wrongfully accused of a crime. You need not prove "actual damages".

Go get em' !
