Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Employee ''Written-Up'' notification
I've recently received a ''Written-Up'' Notice from the manager with all the negative points. 95% of it isn't true which means those negative points were given by one of the employee in the office. Per the manager, this notice will be in my personal folder as if I denied to change for better and it could lead to a termination of my employment . I really want to protect my good references, & defense myself, what can I do:
- Appeal?
- Request of removing it from my personal folder so it won't hurt my verification of employment w/ the new prospected employer?
- Clear it once for all?
Thank you very much for your advices

Re: Employee ''Written-Up'' notification
You have the right to -- and should -- write a rebuttal to the false stuff in your file that should be placed in your file as well. Keep a copy. If you have a union, by all means, grieve the review. Usually, when a company verifies employment, all they should say is name, job title, and how long you've worked there. Nothing more. Of course, that's not always the case, though.
