QUESTION
Can a employer suspend you and then say you quit?
Asked on Oct 10th, 2017 on Wrongful Termination - North Carolina
More details to this question:
I was suspended from my job until further investigation for a theft that I didn't commit. While on suspension they claim I quit. They never got back in touch with me. I had to call them. When I did get in touch with them they told me that they accepted my resignation. How can they accept my resignation when I never talked to them after my suspension. Until they actually told me I quit, when I didn't?

Yes, they can suspend you. Yes, they can say you quit when you did not. The fact that they say you quit might, in some very, very limited circustances, give you a cause of action for defamation. However, that is very unlikely.
