What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My husband stopped a kid from attacking another employee. As a result he was sent home pending investigation. After a day, he called his employer to find out when he could come back to work. He was told that the matter was handed over to the police and to contact them. So he did, the police said they reviewed the tapes and it was clear he hadn't done anything wrong and that no charges were going to be filed. He went back to his employer and informed them of what the police said, and the guy told him that it was up to owner to make the decision and that they would call him back. THEY NEVER DID. 3 days later, I got to check the bank account to see what his check was, and it was only $136!! He's salary! And they still haven't contacted him or returned any of calls, even a week later. Is that legal? Can they fire him without even telling him?? Please help!
