Anybody know anything about unlawful termination? As in falsifying documents.

[Inimicus]

Well since NC is an "At Will" state, as long as the termination is not discriminatory or doesn't violate the companies own published policies then there is no such thing as "unlawful termination".

[Chimera]

that's not entirely true, since you can't be fired in retaliation for reporting something illegal, or if the firing breeches a legal contract.

however, falsifying documents seems like fraud, which could lead to a tort claim.

Apparently, I wasn't doing the work assigned to me. However, I have 2 copies of the same work order with completely different things on them. Same WO number, time, and date, just written 4 days apart with completely different things on them. They just went back in the computer and changed stuff.

 

The property I worked at was for sale, and if we stayed throughout the changeover, we were due stay-on bonuses. I think this was their way out of it.

Did you sign a stay on agreement that outlined what was required for you to receive the bonus? If so, there may be validity to them trying to make it look like you did not fulfill that contract.

If not, there us no real reason for them to falsify anything to make you look incompetent. As an at will state, they could let you go for absolutely no reason...as long as it was not discriminatory nor was retaliation protected under the law.

Business type?

[cookinbrak]

I worked at an apartment complex. One of the make-readys had 3 different lists of things- one on Thursday, one Saturday, one Monday. I did everything on all 3 lists. the Thursday and Monday lists are on the same work order, they went into the computer and changed stuff. "All of this should have been done before the move-in." They changed the lists after the fact.

 

They don't know that I have the copies of both work orders. They don't keep copies of the work orders, they log them into the computer and shred them.

He doesn't really have anything to sue over.

 

It is also odd that they would try and make his work look subpar.  They could let him go today for no reason if they wanted to.

Only thing you can do is try to take it up the ladder.

I called the lady that used to be the manager (she went to another company), she said I need to notify the company. I guess I can send a "To Whom It May Concern" letter to the regional office.

If you want to give it weight see if you can get it on a lawyer's letterhead.
