Fired In At-will State Under False Pretenses; Have Evidence To The Contrary
Location: New York
For those that are unaware, New York is an at-will state. That means that I can be fired for (or without) any reason at any time.
I was working as an overnight security guard, and am the only person on the property during my shift. The time clock was not working, so I was unable to punch in. I emailed our IT person, but considering the fact that they were probably asleep at that time, they didn't answer.
Given the fact that I had no way to clock in, the system flagged it as me being absent. I was called by the owner of the company the following day and asked why I "no-call, no-showed." I reiterated the issue with the time clock, which he then claimed was never broken. I then offered to pull the security footage, which he refused, and he told me that I was fired effective immediately.
Does the at-will statute still apply if the grounds for firing were false allegations, and I can prove that? Is there anything I can do?
