Legal Question in Employment Law in Oregon
Can I sue?
I was fired from my last job 4 months ago, and come to find out the reason I havent found a new job is because my old boss is telling my new employers that I stole from them and thats why they fired me. I did not steal from them and that is not why I was fired.I was fired for having an emergency with a doctors note. Can I sue and how do I go about it? I have lost 4 months of wages and alot of suffering. Please help me.

Re: Can I sue?
Are those people who are telling you what your ex-employer is saying willing to put their memories to the written page in detail and do so immediately? If you can prove what you say is happening and can also prove that you did not take anything from the employer you have a viable damage claim.
