If the employer agrees that the accusation was false, then the employer may rescind the termination.
Otherwise, the rig manager should discuss the details with a plaintiff-side employment lawyer, to see if it might be possible to persuade the employer to rescind its decision and to evaluate other possible courses of action.
I am curious about just how you know the accusation was false and coerced. Do you have actual proof of what you are saying? If so, then the injured employee should see an attorney. If not, then this is just your opinion, and you are apparently not even one of the parties to the dispute.
