I was working in an independent retirement home for over a year as a server. We had a recognition program where I was constantly praised for my great work ethic and commitment to the company. At one point though, I filed a harassment complaint to my manager About a head chef who was misusing her power over the servers. The harassment complaint was brushed off by my manager. About 2 months later, I was fired after being late from being in a car accident. The reasoning for my termination was that my manager had heard from another employee who heard from another employee that I consumed alcohol during work hours. This is something completely out of my character and I was absolutely distraught when this happened as I have never been fired, let alone for alcoholism. What do I do?

Hello,

It definitely sounds like your employer has engaged in bad faith. I highly recommend you contact our office to schedule a consult with one of our lawyers so we can more thoroughly review your matter and determine any termination entitlements you may have here.
