What is the name of your state? California
I worked as a store manager for *$'s for three years, up until recently. I was accused of having a physical relationship with a female subordinate. This, of course, is not true. I do not know why I was accused, but I do suspect that my assistant manager had something to do with it so that he could take my position.
I feel I was wrongfully terminated because there was no through investigation into the allegations. I first heard of the allegations on Friday, when I was called to my supervisors office. I was told that a female subordinate had called in and reported a relationship between us. I denied the allegations and was then told that a third party was the real alleger and that the other party involved needed to be interviewed. On Wednesday, the following week, I was fired. I was told that the allegations were enough to terminate. I asked for proof, for written statements, for anything to support their claims and was told that they were not required. I was told, "why would she lie?" When the conversation was reaching an end my boss then told me, "you just don't seem that convincing."
Is it right to lose your job because of the claim of another? Policy states in the handbook that an aggressive investigation would be undertaken. Where is the proof?
