Add Comment Question: I was terminated as a result of an investigation that I called a co-worker a inappropriate name. The co-worker was question, but I was never given an opportunity to denied the allegations. I have the recording of the termination conversation on tape. I would like to know my rights as an employee. Answer: An employer has a very high threshold to meet in order to justify terminating an employee for cause on the basis of one incident, and the fact that you were never provided with an opportunity to speak to the allegations strongly suggests that you have been wrongfully dismissed. I strongly recommend that you contact an employment lawyer at the number below to discuss your entitlements.
