Termination

[KJay]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA

I'm not sure this is right forum to post this issue.

I was working for tire company as a warehouse and logistic manager. I got terminated from my job because I was taking kickback money from my vendor trucking company. What kind of legal actions can be taken by my former company except termination? And with what kind of proof my former company can terminate my job and what kind of proof can be used to prove the kickback in the court? Thank you.

Your employer does not need any proof to terminate your employment.

Expect a terrible reference from this employer for any job you apply for for years to come.

What WERE you thinking?

Thanks for your reply. Do you think what kind of legal actions can be taken by my former company except termination?

Thanks for the advice.
Is that it? Do you think they can take other legal action against me?

Besides termination, they could send a sizeable lawsuit your way.

Don't expect unemployment insurance.

Do you think what kind of lawsuit it would be?
They sent me an application for Cobra, do you mean that?

COBRA is a separate issue. Personally, I would not have had you been my employee; employees terminated for "gross misconduct" do not have to be offered COBRA. Consider yourself lucky at this point.

Consider it a miracle.

OF COURSE they can take other legal action against you. Good heavens, man, what kind of an idiot are you?

You have NO idea how lucky you are that they sent you a COBRA notice. Under these circumstances, they could EASILY have called it gross misconduct and refused to allow it.

And no, sending you a COBRA notice is NOT the other legal action that could be taken against you. Being sued, that's the other legal action that could be taken against you.
