Wrongful Termination

Hello... I was fired from my job on 2/4/03 for what they say was going against company policy. I auth a third party check and a stop payment was made and the check turned out to be stolen, I delt with this customer a couple of times and didn't have any problems before, the cashier called the third party, got dob and dl, then called the bank and got auth from the bank i then initialed it.I was fired and the cashier was not, she just got written up which to this day still hasn't signed a write up yet, she was also told by my boss that i blamed it all on her, which was a lie.I looked up my employee handbook and no where's in there does it state that that was a company policy. there is more to it that i think i was fired but don't have the space for.Do I have a wrongful termination lawsuit ?

Re: Wrongful Termination

if you were an "at will" employee, you can be terminated for no cause or good cause, but never for bad cause. if your termination was pretextual and based on bad cause, then you would have a cause of action for wrongful termination. but i would need more info. on your case, why you suspect you were fired other than the reasons given, and what your title was at the time of dismissal.
