You can file a claim for unpaid compensation with the Labor Commissioner if you were not paid for time actually worked. ONLY IF you can prove through credible and admissible evidence [and your word does not count as 'proof'] that false claims of illegal or immoral conduct were made about you, would you have grounds for a slander claim. Other than that, in general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or fired any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy.
