Q: My employer accused me of stealing time?
Hello, My manager accused me of stealing time from the job but it was actually an error on their part. I reported it to HR and they spoke to him and then he sent me a 3 paragraph email later that night. I reported to hr as it was retaliation and all she did was removed me and sent me to another team. I feel like I am the only one being punished. The manager also advised me to work off the clock to create a new schedule during my unpaid time off approved time off. They did not do anything so I need to know what to do next and if i should move forward.
A:
As you may be aware Texsa is an "at will" employment state so you can be fired for any reason or no reason unless you have an employment contract. What you describe could result in problems for you down the line so you want to make sure it is resolved. I suggest you contact the Texas Workforce Commission. I will post its website below for you. Best of luck.
