What is the name of your state?Ohio
SHORT STORY: Wife and I live in Ohio and just got divorce. We have a daughter 3 yrs. old. I got custody. Wife hasn't worked last 3 yrs. but has worked for 17 years prior. She has 4 year accounting degree and kick-butt resume including management experience. We get along like good friends now. I am from here in Ohio, she is from Florida. She has family in Florida that can help her untill she finds employment but chooses to stay here so she can be close to her daughter (we are both in our daughters life every day). Untill employment she stays with us with no problem at all. PROBLEM IS: She was hired to do accounting job for company owned by a wealthy family right here in our town. She made it clear during her interview with the big owner that she did not know a certain software "Quickbooks". He said it was OK and she would have time to learn it. She started working on Monday 1-16-2006. Today, Thursday 1-19-2006 she came home crying. Some manager at the place she works fired her telling her it's because she doesn't know "Quickbooks" and they made a mistake. She told me she felt this was going to happen from the first day she met this man. She said she could tell he didn't want her there. She is the only black individual working there. Not to mention, while there, she had already fixed some really big mistakes of his and it seemed he didn't like it to well. WHAT SHOULD SHE DO AND WHAT ARE HER RIGHTS? THIS ISN'T RIGHT. DEPT. OF LABOR?
