Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Employer Making Wrongful Accusations

My employer is trying to tell me that my license was suspended last year for a duration of about two weeks, but I have given them written letters, a DMV report, and two MVR reports saying otherwise, they are threatening to demote or fire me. What are my rights?
