Hello, I am a server at a popular restaurant chain. I have a perfect record with this company. Good performance reviews, no write-ups and no written/verbal warnings. Recently, I called in due to being sick. I was sick but my manager doesn't believe me. They have never required sick notes or any type of verification. However, my director directly inferred that since I was calling out that I would lose hours (and therefore wages) because of this. I have no track record of calling out and she has no evidence of me not being sick. She talked to multiple employees behind my back and inferred that I had falsely called out and therefore libeled my name. I have now begun to lose hours at work because of this incident. Do I have any grounds for any type of legal action against my employer?
