JoRita asked:
I was fired from my job while in the middle of a human resourses investigation dealing with a harrasment/retailiation claim I made. My boss listed tradies to work the cause of my termination, but never consulted with me in regards to the claim I took up with HR. I think the termination is due to the claim more so than the tardies, but I did have tardies. The VP of Operations (male) did the firing by himself without any one else present in the office and our HR personnel were out of town.He also did not give me an exit interview only 5 min of why they decided to fire me (multiple tardies) and then walked me out of the building. He did not tell me about my insurance, PTO time, or my 401k. It was so quick he didn’t even make sure to collect my company credit card or laptop. I don’t understand the reasons behind why it had to happen so quickly or why HR was not involved. How should one proceed?
Thanks for comments so far. We were recently (aug. 06) aquired by another company who does not have a company wide handbook. They like to handle things as situational issues so there is no broad policy to be followed by all. I have worked in this position for the company almost 3 years and was informed that as long as I worked my 40hrs a week I was fine (of which I normally work 40+). There are many other employed there who are tardy. This can be proven by printing out time card info. I worked in accounts payable / payroll so I had access and saw many others clock in and out times.
