Re: falsely accused
Illinois is an at will employment state - this essentially means that you can quit when you want and they can fire you when they want. Unless your claim is based on some type of discrimination, I do not see that you have any basis for a claim. Please note that if it is a discrimination claim then you usually only have a 6 month time period to file a claim although this is extended to a year in some areas.
