Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Georgia
I was terminated last week for allegedly having lack of integrity, not following instructions, and falsifying company policies. I know!! That is HARSH to say the least. Anyway, my question is what will it take to prove my innocence on this matter in order to collect UI/ and or sue the company for negligence and wrongful termination? I am 100% certain that I had no conscious neglect when assigning this "newly introduced" profile code to TWO preferred clients. No consideration of length of service, nature of managerial duties, prior warnings, equal enforcement of all progressive disciplinary actions any other factors that would suggest reasonable expectations that a discharge was imminent.

Absent a contract, employees can generally be terminated for any or no reason, with no notice at all, so you'll need more than your post (most of which makes little sense) for "wrongful termination." "Negligence" for what? Otherwise, since we know no actual facts about the situation, no one here can tell you how to prove your innocence. Tell your story to the unemployment hearing officer.
(1) You posted in an obscure part of the website that deals with legal malpractice. That means few if any employment lawyers will see it because you posted in the wrong area.
(2) Georgia allows you to be fired for no reason at all. So it would be unusual to have an employment case, unless you were fired for race, religion, or similar reasons.
(3) As for your unemployment claim, discuss that with an employment lawyer.
