Last year a co-worker made a complaint against me claiming I tried to attack her in front or other co-workers. To make a long story short the claim was investigated thoroughly by HR and deemed unfounded. HR also stated that woman who made the false accusation attend psychiatric counseling. The woman was fired last year for job abandonment. I found out today this woman is suing the institution for unemployment and workers compensation.
My supervisor, another co-worker and I have to meet with lawyers representing the institution. My question is, generally speaking what will be asked of me? If this was an unfounded claim by HR why would they still want to speak with me? Also does this woman have a chance of winning? After her complaint was made her lunch hour was changed, her desk was moved as well as many other changes to help her to feel more comfortable.
