Re: Forgery of name at work

As far as filing a civil suit you would need to prove the forgery caused you money damages. You can report the matter to your local police who would then decide if the matter should be passed on the the states attorney for possible criminal prosecution.

You should try to find an attorney who handles employment issues and give him/her all the facts and let them decide the best course of action.
