Re: Falsely accused
Under New York law, a person can be legally fired for any non-discriminatory reason, including suspicion of harassment; however, if your husband was falsely accused, he may have a defamation case among other claims.
Before he signs anything with respect to his separation from the company, he should seek legal counsel.
My office negotiates severance packages for terminated employees, using any illegal or immoral behavior on the part of the employer as leverage to maximize cash and benefits. If you would like to discuss this matter further, you may contact my office via email or through SeveranceAttorney.com
