Your employer does not necessarily have to hear your version. Are you a union member? If so, you can file a grievance. Have you experienced discrimination or complained of discrimination/illegal activity in the workplace? Could this be the real reason for the termination?

My boss requires me to punch in 1 hour AFTER I have started work (start at 6:30am, punch in at 7:30am). This has been going on for 6 years. Is this legal? I have lost a large amount of PTO by doing this.
answered on Mar 8, 2022
You should be paid for all hours worked. If you are required to begin work at 6:30 am, you should be paid for that time.
I left my previous employer about a month ago, amid extreme frustration with the 55-hour workload we were expected to shoehorn into 40 hours and work culture that gave zero useful feedback. Still, before I left, I did my best to make sure I was leaving no loose ends for my co-workers. It was a... View More

You are not obligated to do anything further based on the information you have provided. If they want to pay you to complete something, and you want to do it, then that is fine. Otherwise, they can't force you to work without compensating you.

Vaccine mandate. Based on this, can my employer still require my vaccination or weekly testing,?
answered on Jan 16, 2022
Yes. Employers in NJ are allowed to require employees to get vaccinated as a condition of employment regardless of how the Supreme Court ruled in the OSHA case. They are required to make exceptions for those who can't get vaccinated for medical or religious reasons. Many health care employers... View More

Our company handbook states our work week is Mon-Friday and weekends off. We are doing our yearly inventory count and my boss is telling us its required we be here for it and its Saturday and Sunday. So basically we'd all be working 12 days straight no days off is this legal?
answered on Nov 5, 2021
Yes they can require you to come in. If you work over 40 hours that week, they would be required to pay you time and a half for all hours worked over 40 in that week.
