Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Defamation of character

I am being wrongly accused of being a violent manager as far as yelling and cussing at employees. None of the accusations are true. My character and name is being tarnished and I need to know what my rights are- can I sue the company that is allowing this to happen and how do I go about filing a law suit?
