I am an at will employee what can I do

At will does not give the employer carte blanche to sack any one for harassment. The employer is still liable if he/she fails to investigate properly. And to base conclusions on reasonable grounds.

Innocent men have been awarded compensation of millions of dollars against careless employers who conducted inadequate investigations.

In Pennzoil the investigators interviewed a number of staff. And subsequently put resulting comments to Mr X. Mr X was an At Will employee.

Nonetheless the courts held that the investigation had failed to distinguish between first hand information and 3rd hand information. Although he was at-will he was awarded $1.7 million compensation. - for unfair dismissal of an at will employee.

The CRO believe that many men are unaware of this development and many men could secure large compensation for inadequate investigation.
