Legal Question in Employment Law in California

An EX-Girlfriend called my place of employment stating that I have been calling and texting her during work hours. This is not true, and now my employers have given me a warning to terminate me if she calls again. This is outrageous. Is this legal? Do I have any rights protecting me? My employers do not believe me when I said this was not true. I do not want to contact her. This is what she wants. Am I a victim of Defamation of Character?

Sure you have rights. You have the right to spend a bunch of money on lawyers, suing and seeking a Restraining Order which may or may not stop the conduct, depending upon how foolish, irrational, vengeful the ex is. I'd start first with a lawyer sending her a strong warning letter.
