What is the name of your state? California
I know that the company that terminated me has violated the Ca Labor Law in overtime pay ruling and instead trys to get away from introducing the per file incentive pay and that is why my attorney is just now waiting for them to response to our demand. Now, I know also that here in California, you can be terminated by your employer at their descrestion and firing you is just an ABC even if it means slandering you and threat in you writing (libel). My screen name tells it all. I've been with this company for 27 yrs and has a clean personnel file with no history of what they accused me of. My supervisor who instigated the whole thing to our division manager, claims that I repeatedly sent in incentive production reports to increase my income. This may sound "petty". Eventhough she was my supervisor, based on my total incentives and my regular pay, my total income is probably always higher than what she makes. How? I am a workaholic, and a 7 days a week for me is just part of my body clock. I worked a regular normal hours an average of 14 hours a day and that include weekends and holidays. Oh by the way, I don't go out to have my lunch break but instead continued my work and eat in between on my desk. Anyway, the big hancho that fired me without looking at my personnel file and with all awards and continued pay increases due to ideal employee and exceptionally qualified is now in the same position I am in. He was terminated from the company a week after they received my attorney demand letter. My unqualified supervisor also is now no longer the supervisor of the department, but now in the same position I was. My gut feeling is, the legal department who has asked an extention to investigate of the unpaid overtime claimed by my attorney is probably creating a shockwave and worries of a class action suit that might be forthcoming to them. My goal is, can I sue my former supervisor personaly for defamation of character and libel? I have proofs and assurance from my co-workers and willing to witness for me.The things that she has been saying to others about me and why she terminated me, is now a topic that is commonly discussed. The majority of people that had known me and was really shocked to learned of my departure, could not believed the reason of my termination. I also have proofs of evidence and errors done by my supervisor. The mistakes she mades in my production incentive sheets by as much as $900 and always been a disturbing feelings that I have to check with her on a regular bases. Remember, I worked a normal of 14 hours a day, 7 days a week just to have the additonal income that could help to support my family. Now, I was fired because I turned in 8 additional files in the report that are not completely done. But prior to this problem, before she interrupted me to attend on the rush cases to be typed, I mentioned to her that the remaining 8 files are not finish and should not be reported as finished files. She acknowledged and assured me that she will not include those files but rather I take care of the files that are more important. Where is the justice in here? She can continually short report my income by as much as $900 per pay pariod and I get to be TERMINATED for unentionally reporting $38. I think I should look at this as blessing in disguise. Why? because of these two ego maniacs, they brought to my attention the things that I should have done in the past, and that is "taking my vacations" and "lunches". Why do I want to file suit against my former supervisor? I don't know of anyone with decent and good moral character history like me,will just ignore anyone and do damage to my reputation without a fight. Proof of evidence shows that I had not, nor had any past history in my 27 years with them any signs of cheating the company. Infact, I never complained to the company of additional works. I did these extra works without the feeling of being obligated. But since I do work fast, it is common that I will do work without being asked. When I finished my quota before I can start with my incentives. Since I usually finished my production quota, my incentives are of course and obiously greater than most in the dept. She has made comments to my co-workers that, if ever I applies to the competitions, she said that she will not hesitate to tell them why she terminated me. I have lost weight and has changed ways of answering common issues and problems with my kids. It is more hostile approach and my relationship with my family has been a burden with me and my husband. For 27 years as an employed woman, the sudden changed of habits of getting dressed is no longer a routine thing for me. I feel that I had lost something that is part of me and that is seeing my co-workers in the morning and having a little chat before we start our day. Now, why do I want to file suit against the responsible party? If only they used their common sense and a little inteligence and apply the correct managemnet procedures, this legal troubles happening would have been avoided. The pain and suffering I am now experiencing should not be part of my life if only a skilled management decision were applied. We live in a country that has respect for the love of our country and have faith on our legal system. Therefore, I feel that I was wrongfully terminated and I do not deserve nor my family deserves to suffer because someone feels threaten by my presence and jealousy is also part of the problem, then, why should I not be compensated for this sufferings. Thank you and please advice.
