The Impact Of False Accusations In The Workplace
A false accusation is any false statement made by
a coworker, supervisor, or any other individual
related to your work. For example, a coworker may
accuse you of stealing proprietary information
from the company or stealing office equipment
from a company storage site. This type of false
accusation can significantly harm your
reputation, cost you your job, and cause you to
experience some very emotional distress.

Depending on how a false accusation is
transmitted, this could be considered slander or
libel. Slander is when false information is
written or published about you. Libel revolves
around a person speaking false accusations out
loud.

Defamation Laws

• Both libel and slander are considered forms of
  defamation if they are made maliciously with the
  intention of harming your reputation. Defamation
  is unlawful, and employees who have been falsely
  accused have the right to clear their name. In
  fact, it may be possible to file a lawsuit
  against the person responsible for defaming your
  reputation.

Gathering Evidence Of The False Accusation

• In order to confront false accusations made
  against you, it is important to gather as much
  evidence as possible. For example, you should
  take photographs or screenshots of any published
  or written false accusations made through email,
  on social media, or any other platform. Gather
  other individuals in your workplace who can serve
  as witnesses to show that the false accusation is
  not true. Importantly, do not ignore the
  situation after you hear a false accusation has
  been made against you. This could only make the
  situation worse.

Remain Calm After Hearing A False Accusation

• It can be understandably upsetting to hear a
  false accusation about you being made in the
  workplace. First, remain calm. It may be
  instinctual to lash out and say things that you
  will regret later on that could be used against
  you in court. Go directly to your supervisor
  after you hear a false accusation. It is your
  employers job to investigate the circumstances
  related to false accusations because they must
  ensure a safe working environment that is free
  from hostility. As soon as you hear about a false
  accusation, you should consider contacting a Los
  Angeles employment lawyer to review your case.
