Legal Question in Employment Law in California
False Accusation of Harassment
Yesterday I was informed that a former
subordinate has accused me of
harassment. Rather than investigating
the allegations, I was forced to resign. I
have done nothing wrong, yet I have
lost my job. What can I do.

False Accusation of Harassment
Hello.
False accusations of harassment at workplace are as common, or even more common, that actual harassment and often give rise to a claim for defamation. I would need to know more facts about your employment and resignation to determine that. If you would like to discuss this, feel free to follow up.
Thanks,
