It seems like you have strong evidence for a defamation claim since you have GPS proof and witnesses. It could potentially be a high-value case if you can establish the harm to your reputation and if there were any discriminatory motives involved in your termination.
Do you believe the false statement was made due to discrimination based on a protected characteristic (e.g., race, color, religion, sex, etc.)?
yes, I am the only male in an all female workplace and I believe that was the motive for my dismissal
