What is the name of your state? Georgia
My husband was employed by a utility inspection service for 10 months, since Feb of this year. He has surveyed in many different states. In September of this year he was sent to Baton Rouge, LA and told that I could train to do the same job he is doing. After 2- 1/2 weeks we were transfered to Alabama because they needed to complete a survey there.I completed my training there and became a full certified technician.
The first part of December, we were transferred to Georgia which is the home office of this company. We were told we would spend approximately 3 months here.
After 3 days of working in Georgia, we were called into the office and terminated. We were told it "just isn't working out for us". When my husband asked why, he was given an instance of a problem. As far as we knew, we were following proceedure as we had been trained in this area and had not been told any differently.
Needless to say we were stunned. Fortunately for us, we found a position with another company this week. That left us without wages for 3 weeks.
We feel we were unjustly terminated. The employee manual states that any substandard work will first be coached and improvements allowed to be made. That didn't happen and it also state that we were to receive the Georgia Separation Notice For ESA800. That didn't happen.
My question is: Can we recover the 3 weeks in lost wages from the company?
