Legal Question in Employment Law in California

emploer error

I have been with company for over 13 months with good track. I was recently forced from manager position to supervisor; my successor is my hire. Not only this but I am place on 90 day probation. All this was done base on 1 incident with with following procedure - which I can prove that its not my fault.

My question: can I be terminated base on error information? since I was force to lower position due to error, does qualify for imfamation? I also have a feeling principle of corporation wanted to demote me way before this 1 incident but is using this unjustified event to do so - can this also be a case?

Thanks you very much!

Re: emploer error

Thanks for your posting, and sorry about the delay in getting an answer to you. In order to answer your question, I can tell you that in general employers have to act in good faith and deal fairly with you, but the policies in place at your company, which you might find in your employee manual, also might create a contract. It does seem odd to place an employee on probation after 13 months of employment. If you get the full story to me, including how you've been damaged (reduction in your salary, for example?), I might be able to help you further. You can email me at info@expertlawfirm or call me at 1-877-568-2977. Thanks.
