The employer has no obligation to conduct an investigation. A defamation lawsuit would be against the individuals who made the statement, not Hertz. Feel free to consult with an employment attorney.
The company (located in NY) initiated the sales call, after regular hours here in MN, high-pressure sales/FOMO, and I was talked into signing a contract (3/27/24 at 8:20pm CDT) and paying the first month's fee of $499. Great-sounding contract with 60-day, 10 new patient referral guarantee. I... View More

I believe you are entitled to a copy of the background check, but they are not obligated to identify what specific information was used in denying your employment. I do not handle these types of cases, but some law firms do. Contact employment law firms directly.

In general, yes, if a website posts something for the wrong price and you buy it before they fix it, they have to sell it to you at that price.

It would be wrong for your boss to buy furniture then sand the companies name off and put his name on it and sell it as his own. This would be quite easy to identify. Is there something you are leaving out?

I don't know how a judge would rule in a civil lawsuit. I don't know if you have done anything illegal, but your post does raise some questions. I am not sure what services you promised. How does traffic become an issue in a 1,800 mile trip? How can they simply refuse service? It seems... View More
