Q: Can employer add incidents on complaint to suspended me w/o pay for 4 days after proving initial susp letter false info?
My employer said they were going to suspend me without pay for 4 days bc I was a no call no show 3 times. I appealed and provided documentation that I had doctors excuse & called in (records from AT&T) On 2 of the dates. Now they have sent me info saying I was a no call no show on another date. I’m supposed to meet with my boss this morning in regards to the appeal. Can they legally keep Adding allegations to try to have enough documentation to suspend me when I have proven the first suspension letter to contain false info. It’s like they’re digging for a reason to get rid of me. What would you suggest I do?
A: No. Should not be able to add incidents, especially where original incidents are proven unfounded. File a complaint with the Labor Board.
