can you take a company to civil court for wrongful termination?

In North Carolina, personnel files are property of the employer and the employer does not have to give an employee access to the files if it so chooses.  There is no action you can take for the company or its witnesses lying in an unemployment appeals hearing. Additionally, if the false accusation was made as part of an unemployment claim, there is a specific law that prohibits such accusations from being the basis of a lawsuit. To file a wrongful firing claim in this state, you must have evidence that the employer terminated you due to unlawful discrimination (race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability or age 40 or older) or unlawful retaliation (fired for engaging in one of a handful of "protected activities"). All other forms of discrimination or basis for retaliation are completely lawful.
