Ex Girlfriends Impact On Employment

Summary

You may have a potential claim for wrongful termination or defamation if your ex-girlfriends statements led to a drug test and subsequent job loss. Pennsylvania is an at-will employment state, but exceptions exist if termination violates public policy or an employment contract. If false statements were made, a defamation claim might be possible. Past cases, like Smith v. Pittsburgh Police Dept., involve similar issues. Consulting a local lawyer can provide specific insights and guidance.
