Legal Question in Civil Litigation in North Carolina
somebody at work told the supervisor that I was going to shoot somebody with a gun. Both my supervisor and the NOC director talked to me about but they did not say who the person is. So far they have interviewed several employees on my shift and nobody has confirmed this LIE about me. What recourse do I have against the person who told the lie and my employer?

Based on what you said so far, you have no recourse. To have recourse, you must be harmed in some way. So far, you have explained that someone told a lie about you and that the company is investigating. In fact, the company would be negligent if they did not investigate such claims. You have to have adverse action taken against you before you would have any potential causes of action.
