    Default Employer Forged Employee Signatures on Documents

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: ca

    I’m not sure if this is tied to my work comp claim so I posted here.

    I received the internal file from the employer and I noticed that they forged my signature on several documents. They were too lazy to check the dates because some of those documents were signed after I was no longer working there.

    Is it to late to file a lawsuit. It’s been two years but I just saw these documents today.

    Simply the fact that someone in the company forged your signature on documents does not automatically mean you have something for which you may sue. What were these documents and what damages have you suffered as result of them?

    I was fired.

    These were statements and receipts the forge to make it look like I was the last person to in the transaction

    Ok, so the termination is the injury you are claiming here? If so, what role did these documents have in your termination? Were you terminated because you allegedly had signed those documents? If you were, I'd think you have known about that before now. If you were not terminated because the company thought you signed the documents, then what does it matter that your signature was forged on them (aside from the obvious moral implications)?

    I was fired for not following procedure. I didn’t do anything differently than what I’ve been doing for 8-9 years there.

    My claim was denied for no medical evidence and no witness.

    These internal reports were written after I was no longer working there. One of the employee said the director of HR, Vp and one of the their coworkers that pushed them to write it.

    They promised that I would never see them. So they made up stories of missing money that I forced them to pay. The problem is that the dates they put down was after I worked there. Some of them were pressured to forged my signature on receipts.

    There was a new employee who wrote a statement about I made her pay money five months ago. I’m not sure she was employed five months before I was fired.

    I don’t know how this ties together or if it’s done at another court.

    Then as they were written and forged AFTER you left they certainly had no role in your termination. I don't know what the company hoped to achieve by doing it, but as you have evidently not suffered any financial loss from it you have nothing for which to sue anyone. There are lots of things in this world that people do that are morally wrong but for which the law provides no remedy in court. It would appear this is one of them.

    I get the impression you'd like to use anything you can to stick it to this employer, but don't let non consequential things start you off on wild rabbit chases. Focus your efforts on the legal matters you already have going.

    A lawsuit for what? "Forgery" is not a civil cause of action, and your post does not indicate that you suffered any damages as a result of this.

    Your second sentence here doesn't make grammatical sense.

    Are you saying that your employer fired you because your employer forged your signature? That doesn't really make sense Are you saying your employer fired you for some legally wrongful reason reason (what would that be?) and forged these documents to make it appear that the employer had a valid reason to fire you? If that's the case, then your recourse is to sue for wrongful termination and, when the employer offers the forged documents as evidence, obtain a handwriting expert's opinion that the documents are forged.

    That's not an illegal reason to fire you. Let's say you did follow proper procedure but your employer fired you for not following proper procedure. So what? Unless the "real reason" you were fired was something illegal, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter that the employer might have fabricated evidence (unless you made a claim for unemployment compensation).

    Claim? Denied by whom? What does a lack of "medical evidence" have to do with you following or not following proper procedure?

    Then the OP either should keep all of his/her posts in the same thread or provide relevant facts when starting a new thread.

    Thanks guys but I got it figured out.

    The director of HR was either too arrogant or just lazy and careless. She terminated me when she saw the incorrect first injury report. When she realized that they might be in the hook for ttd benefits because they didn’t offer modified work, she got a little desperate.

    Instead of leaving it there. She provided fabricated stories to justify my termination. When she put lies on top of lies, it sticks out like a sore thumb. The evidence they have has conflicting dates and many other allegations that happened after I was fired.

    Somehow they thought a credit report from the year before they fired me would make it look like I was in financial hardship. I’m not sure how much a satisfaction letter from a year before will indicate that I’m in debt.

    There was a case in California that is 90% similar to my case. The only difference is the plaintiff had a very good attorney. The employer also chose financial hardship for the reason of theft.

    What did I lose in this? Everything that I worked hard for. There were some that money can never buy or replace.

    I will need a very experienced attorney if they agree with me

    We've been telling you for a long time, on both this and other forums, to get an attorney. You keep insisting that (a) no one will take your case and occasionally (b) that no attorney will run the case the way you think it should be run.
