Wrongful terminationHi, just in need of a little advice. Ive recently moved, I was with a company for 5 yrs, I came here and started with the same company, but a franchisee. I was only with them for 4 months when I was terminated for something I didn't do. Should I list this company on my resume or not. I would only list the 5 years with the company=--not the franchise. Further, I don't know the reason for your termination but I I would pursue your wrongful termination with an attorney or the employment board, even if you do not want to go back or not. You will also need to know what both ocmpanies would say as a verification of employment. If you are not going to pursue your wrongful termination, you should send them a certifiied, return-receipt letter that explains your position on the termination and request that it be made part of your file. You have one year from termination to view your file, so you can go back and review your file to insure that it is made part of it. Best of luck. If you want to give us more information we can help you better. Whether you list this on your resume or not, you' re going to have to list it on an application so you' re going to have to address it. If you can tell us why they fired you and what the story is, without writing an entire book, we may be able to help you frame it in a better light, if there is one.
Hi. I was terminated because they said I changed an emploees timecard. I did'nt. I want to know that if I don't list this employer on an application will it show up in a backround check. I have never been fired before, and I don't know what to do.
Contact the employer and determine what they are going to say to a potential employer who calls for a reference. Are they going to say that you changed the employee's timecard? If they do, then they need to have some proof or they will be guilty of slander. If they have that proof, then it would be up to you to actually have the proof to counter act them. If what they are saying is that you broke a company policy, then they may not have the proof; only suspicion. They can state that you were suspected of falsifying a timecard, but without proof, the word "suspected" (or a form of the word) has to play a role in the reference. Merely being a suspect in this may be enough to knock you out of the running for a job. Once you are armed with the reference response, you can form your answer to the interviewer when asked why you left your previous employer. OK, there' s more to the story. WHY do they think that you changed this person' s time card? Was it changed by someone else? Were you the supervisor? This didn' t come out of the blue, there must have been something that led them to this. | |
