Supervisor has been spreading rumors and lies about employee's what are the employee's rights

3 views 1 answers
My daughter is working in a small medical office. Her supervisor (who is young and untrained in Managing) has a personal vendetta against my daughter. She has now lied to the doctors about my daughter, going so far as saying that she was looking at porn (absolutely no way and no proof of that) as well as other lies to get her fired. The doctors are backing the supervisor on whatever she says. Is there any way to charge slander against this supervisor? My daughter is about ready to be fired because of this. and she is desperately trying to find another job. Any advice would be helpful!

I hope your daughter has had luck finding another job because a workplace with an arrogant supervisor can be headaches. Slander is the spoken communication of false statements injurious to a person's reputation. Your daughter can sue if she has been defamed. The lawsuits can be expensive to bring so discuss your options with a local lawyer.
