My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Mid Atlantic region. My home state was NJ, but work MA region. Company is west coast based.
There are 50 or so employees with my job title. As part of our job, we are supposed to catch people stealing, both customers and employees. We are ranked versus each other by head count and dollars recovered. There are rules we have to follow or else we will be terminated. We cannot falsely accuse someone or we will be terminated. We cannot be in the bottom ten for more than six weeks or we will be terminated.
Problem lies with certain employees breaking the rules either with permission or without permission. Those with permission are company favorites and are allowed to do so because of being liked by the bosses. The ones without permission do so and are not called on it. In addition, others are given access to programs and tools to do the job, where as others of us are not and must wait on someone from corporate to help us.
I am on verge of being fired as I am bottom ten due to the unfair things in play. I average 2 to 3 people stealing a week for over $1000 recovered per week for $20k recovered YTD. Do I have any recourse if fired?
