What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I resigned from a company here in Cincinnati back in April 2008 due to pressing family matters, one of which being my father was diagnosed with cancer, and I needed to take care of him full time (he passed away in October). After his death, I contacted my former employer about returning to work. I was told that I'm "not eligible for rehire". I had never had any problems with my job with the exception of one Supervisor (I'll call her Jo) who obviously had it in for me (to this day I cannot figure out why), and would run to the Contact Center Manager everytime I sneezed it seemed. Many times I would be told by co-workers that while I would be on break, Jo would be seen over at my desk looking through my things, and on one occasion even put her hands on my personal property. The Contact Center Manager was aware of the situation, and even assigned me to a different Supervisor, and moved my desk away from Jo. I was never fired, and Jo's allegations were always found to be unfounded and frivilous. I contacted HR to find out what the reason was for my ineligibility, and was told that my file had been transferred to off-site storage, and that they would be unable to give me the reason for my status with the company. Is there anything I can do to find out why I'm ineligible for rehire at this company? And is it too late to do something about Jo, the Supervisor who constantly harassed me at this job?
