You could have an affidavit signed by Eric Holder and it would still not require the employer to remove the notation.

The employer is allowed to be wrong. If you have paperwork that proves that you were not negligent, take mo's suggestion and show it to potential employers. But short of a court order, which you will not get, the employer is not going to be required to amend what they have in your file.

So the law has no say on the issue of someone being fired for something they did not do? If that is the case, i would have to say there something fundamentally wrong with the law.


" ..This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it."
--April 6, 1859 Letter to Henry Pierce

Except where explicitly prohibited by law - and that's not the case here - an employer may terminate your employment for any reason or no reason whatsoever. You also have the same freedom though - you can quit without notice, without reason.

It does go both ways.

And no, you don't have a case for defamation.

Correct. The law does not address the topic of a person being fired for something they did not do. Either pro or con. It simply does not take a position on the matter.

Google "at-will employment"

Excellent quote. However, it supports the employers side just as much as the employee. Why do you think it's right to force Best Buy to have you as an employee?

Employers are not courts of law.

they do not have to hold formal investigations to collect evidence and assemble witnesses.

they do not have a standard of truth to be upheld or a burden of proof to be maintained.
