Legal Question in Criminal Law in Iowa

Forgery

I work through a program ,CDAC throughDHS.

I am a regestered provider. I have my Nursing Assistant Certificate.

The job that I was initially sent to was for a lady I had known at a Assisted Living complex.

She got a boyfriend while in the hospital. It was a funny type of relationship in the sense that he was a controller and she did whatever and said whatever he wanted her to. She became very co-dependent when in his presence. She has MS and requires alot of care. She had asked me to be her provider at her boyfriends home as she was planning a move.

I agreed.

I was assigned so many hours per month at a certain hourly rate.

She signed a form at the end of each month agreeing on the hours. I reported her boyfriend, now husband of giving extr scheduled drugs,I found lots of extra drugs in areas, on the floor and in empty bottles morphine and Lortab.

I had told Howard I was not comfortable with his sexual

jokes and statements.

The next week I was let go.

THis was over a year ago. They are now charging me with forgery and stating that I charged them for hours that I was not there. They took my book with all the notes and times,therefore I haveI have no proof, they also state that I forged her name on her forms I did not

Re: Forgery

Who's charging you with forging hours? Did you not make a duplicate copy of your timesheets?
