What is the name of your state? Tennessee. Hi everyone, a simple case here I think.
I was hired and worked one day. At the end of the day, my supervisor told me I didn't pass the drug test. Astonished, I called the lab and was told that my results were negative/dilute. I called my employer to respectfully ask wtf. I was told that "dilute" implies tampering and I could, if I wanted, retest. Upon retesting four days later I tested negative. I called my employer back immediately and was told I was terminated, no reason given. My seperation notice arrived in the mail the same day and stated reason was "drug use". While I understand the concept of "at will", this seems beyond the pale.
Can their "reason" be untrue AND slanderous? Now I have this on my record.
I retested "as soon as possible", according to my understanding of the law. This entire sequence of events occured within a one week time frame. Any observations? thanks
