If the accusation is false, then it is defamatory for your employer to repeat this information to others either within the company or to outside persons. Such information could have negative consequences that are long-lasting and wide ranging such as employment background checks or other background checks. We are happy to speak with you confidentially regarding this matter at 866-703-5509.
