Thanks, Jennifer. Could you let me know what legal issue or question you’re dealing with so I can try to assist?
After a workplace injury, management completely removed me from the schedule, stating they would only consider my return once I was *% healed. My assistant manager confirmed they planned to terminate me entirely until I escalated the matter by emailing the business owner.While forced to reinstate me on paper, management executed a constructive discharge by slashing my regular * hours a week down to just * hours. Furthermore, I discovered records proving management forged my signature on an official company timesheet."Final Pay" ledger termination packet, and planted fake write-ups.Immediately following my email to the owner, my manager also launched a malicious public smear campaign, fabricating and spreading an explicit sexual rumor involving my minor child to staff and public customers to destroy my credibility. I have preserved full photographic evidence of the forged timesheet, master schedules, hidden write-ups, and witness text logs.
It sounds like your situation may involve multiple legal issues, including workplace retaliation, defamation, and possibly violations of employment and labor laws. Here are some key points to consider:
- Retaliation and Discrimination: Employers cannot retaliate against employees for filing a workplace injury or raising legal concerns. New York law and OSHA regulations protect injured employees. The reduction in your hours and other actions may qualify as retaliation or constructive discharge.
- Forgery and Fraud: Forging your signature on company documents and planting false write-ups could have legal consequences for your employer.
- Defamation: Spreading false, malicious rumors about you and your child could form the basis for a defamation lawsuit if the statements harmed your reputation.
- Next Steps: Consider contacting the New York State Division of Human Rights (NYSDHR) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to file a complaint. You may also want to consult an employment attorney for guidance.
