Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

Possible Termination

I work in Accouts Receivable. One of the customers that I work with has accused me of swearing at her over the phone (A very large client, I might add). I am at risk of losing my job over this false charge. How aggresive should I be in defending myself and what are my rights??

Re: Possible Termination

Hello. You should very aggressively defend your-

self against this charge. In my opinion, you

are entitled to a hearing. You should deny the

accusations against you in a written letter. Of

course I suggests that you get a lawyer at this

point. If there is any possibility that the

conversation that you had with the client was

recorded, you should immediately take steps to

request that the recording be retrieved, before

it is destroyed. This is very important. I

also suggests that you request a review of your

personnel file to see whether this matter has

been recorded and how it has been recorded. Your

chances of prevailing here will improve if you

act quickly. I will be happy to discuss this

with you further.
