Add Comment Question: Can an employer fire an employee for lying about working a shift, when in real they got someone else to work that shift but wrote the hours u see their own name. Answer: If you have been terminated I highly recommend you contact our office so one of our employment lawyers can assess the situation fully with you and determine whether you have any termination entitlements. Based on the above-scenario, this could amount to termination for cause, however, we would need to discuss further with you.
