What to do When Falsely Accused at Work
They confronted my husband with urinating outside the building on his way in, and claimed ” 2 witnesses” saw him. Well my husband told them to review the videotape and see, because he didn’t do such a thing. They advised my husband to clean out his locker, turn in his lock, and his badge. They were suspending him pending an investigation and he was told to report to the HR department the following morning at 9:00 a.m. Well he went , and they agreed they were indeed wrong, as he did not urinate the camera clearly showed he was tying his pants. My question is does he have any legal recourse for falsely being accused, losing a nights worth of pay ( about 140.00), and being humiliated. Is he entitled to something to make this right?
The neighbors across the street who are personally known to both myself and my husband and who were, at one time, friends have put me in a position, that I am considering a slander/malice lawsuit. A potential buyer was doing a walk about around the property when they were approached by the said neighbors and told “not to buy this house, the roof leaks and the walls leak”. I have suggested to my husband that if my realtor could get a signed statement of exactly what was said, the date and time and a description of the parties stating these malicious words, I may have a case. That is my question - do I have any rights to protect my reputation and as well the potential loss of the sale of this house?
I was accused of shoplifting by the manager who made a huge scene about it, embarrassed me, and humiliated me. I had proof that the red bull he accused me of stealing was brought else where. He did apologize and blame his bad day but I feel he should be FIRED !! I am not a thief and he made me look like one to other customers in the store. This took place 3/31/07 at Publix in Orlando Florida can I sue of get him fired I have already contacted his regional manager.
For four days I did volunteer work for someone who owns over 100 exotic cats. I found the conditions deplorable and contacted an organization they belong to. Can these people sue me for describing the conditions of their place to the founder/president of the organization they belong to (an organization for cat breeders)?
