Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey
I have a question about employment. Yesterday I was put in an uncomfortable situation by my boss and a representative from Human Resources. He stated I was there because they were auditing my business mileage for the month. They asked me for my records which I provided and my Boss proceeded to interview me and get very close to my personal space he made me feel really uncomfortable and started questioning everything I recorded, which I started answering but he was combative. He then stated I was insubordinate and I then sensing it was going somewhere that I didn't want this to go I got up and said I'm not taking this and walked out. The HR Rep followed me out and told me to take a day to calm down and I did. I have been working for this company for almost 4 yrs I work in the Loss Prevention Department which is why this was so uncomfortable I handle High Profile Investigations and cover the entire North East and Mid West. I have received awards and have been put in Leader ship development programs offered by the company which was 2 weeks ago. I never received anything less than Exceeds on all my reviews and I have brought the company millions of dollars in restitution which I was recognized for with several awards. I don't understand what happened and why but to be put in a situation like that which I have never been in was disturbing. I don't know what rights I have if any or how I should take this further. I did request a meeting with the HR Rep to speak with but at this point I can't work for this guy so what are my options, quit, let them terminate me?? If they do on what basis? and do I really have any recourse?
