What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas
I work 2nd shift at a production plant. My employer is contracted by this production plant, therefore there is no HR on staff at my facility for my company. Corporate is based in Florida.
There are only 2 other employees in my department after 5pm. One is a girl who started 3 weeks after me, the other is my male supervisor. There is another employee in what is technically another department sometimes in the same area during our shift.
I filed a sexual harassment complaint tonight against the male supervisor I work 2nd shift with and my manager over him and me told me that he would have to send me home since I couldn't work with the guy I filed the complaint against. Here's the problem. After I filed the complaint a write up from 2 months ago mysteriously showed up on my desk. This is the first time I'd ever seen it. Needless to say I didn't sign it. Second I was escorted out and asked for my security badge. I denied. I wasn't officially fired, but needless to say there are things not right here. I plan to contact EEOC in the morning since I feel like retaliation is obvious here, but I'm not confident I'll get much help there.
Also, I was asked to write up a description of the incident before I left, which I did and copied our ethics department in Florida on as well as sent a copy to my personal email.
First question, if I wanted to seek a lawyer, can a Kansas lawyer help me or would it have to be a lawyer out of Florida?
Second question, since I feel like they are looking for an excuse to fire me, what do I do now? I wasn't told not to report to work tomorrow, but the fact that they asked for my security badge is shady. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
