What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Il
This may be in the wrong section because i am not yet fired, sorry if so. A younger girl i work with called my corporate office and claimed i threatened her and chased her to her car. I never lost my temper yelled or had any kind of outwardly emotion's and if any thing she was doing the yelling and causing a seen. After being yelled at twice and not really saying any thing wrong i figured when she left i would go smoke a cigaret and try to be the bigger person and just tell her i was sorry for what ever i might have did to avoid any further problem's at work.
Every thing was on camera, though i don't think i can get it at this point.There was some one outside that i don't think she noticed that will be a witness for me. I didn't chase her to her car and i have had a manager tell me that was one of the thing's she was claiming. I was sent home for the last day of that week and told corporate would contact me. I waited all that week and they never called so i contacted my gm and he called cooperate, eventually he called me back and said i could work for now but not with her. I was able to work one day that week and am now getting about half the hour's i had before.
It's going on the second week with nobody hearing my side of the story and being punished for some thing i didn't do while she get's the same hour's and she was the one yelling and causing a seen. I would rather not seek any legal action towards my work if not necessary but was wondering where my standing was there. Mostly i would like to know if i have any chance of taking her to small claim's court and sue her for any lost wage's. Thank's for any advise in advance.
