Can I do something about my suspension?
I have been working with a company in Illinois for 8 months with no write ups or even verbal warning. A few weeks ago I told a co-worker ( who had been promoted) to file for unemployment since our district manager wouldn't answer her about returning to work. Then, I caught a virus or bug from a co-worker who has the worst hygiene I have ever seen. Upon seeing her handle food without gloves on, I told her she was the reason I had been sick twice in a 8 month period. Our boss heard and ask what the problem was, when I told him he acted as if I was wrong for saying something. The next day I was working with 2 other people, all 3 of us run the same register. I was in at 4pm, If we are slow we are suppose to go home in order of who arrived first, I was first I went home about 45 minutes before closing. At the time of closing, I received a phone call that there was 98 dollars missing from the register. I worked the following day at 11, when I came into work, the store manager told me " I found 20 of it but there still is 78 missing." And started to check the safe again to see if he had over looked an envelope. While looking for the money my boss made the remark that "someone is gonna get fired" to other co-workers but never to me. He never called the district manager that day. I worked 2 shifts this day equaling 11 hours and then 6 hours the next day. 3 days after the money came up missing the district manager came in during my shift and told me that the 3 people working that night were being suspended pending review of the paperwork that night. 5 days after my suspension I found out I was the only one suspended and wrote up. When I called the district manager to see if she had concluded her investigation she told me "no it was still on going" then I asked why I was the only one still suspended then and she got irate with me and told me "she could discuss other employees with me and hung up" Today I received a call from a co-worker saying she was "sorry for me being fired" I told her to my knowledge I was only suspended and ask her why the store manager had said what I was fired for, my coworker told me my boss was saying I stole the money and was fired. Can an employer discuss my suspension and/or termination with another employee? Is it legal for an employer to tell me I'm just under suspension when they tell other employees I'm fired? and How can I be blamed for money missing when we all had access to the same drawer?
