My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: NJ
I was under investigation for 2 weeks until they finally terminated me, not because of the sexual harassment complaint by a customer, but for theft. Yes, I work for a department store. I had to write my statement of the whole thing, and I was told that it was completely different from his statement.
I know it's confusing.
Anyway, there was no police involved whatsoever. I got a letter from a lawfirm demanding me to pay the amount of the merchandise. That I can take care of, but what's bugging me is when I got the call from the HR Manager. She said that based from "theft", the investigation is finished -- the sexual harassment. So, it's been close to a month, is the sexual harassment investigation really over? was it forwarded to the police? and they were mentioning that the customer who complained is 17 years old. BTW, I did not DO ANYTHING to this person whatsoever. Should I get a lawyer??
