Unless you are in a union or under contact you can be terminated any time for no reason, even for a wrong reason (just not a discriminatory reason). Perhaps you can try writing a letter to your former employer to explain the situation but you cannot sue for your job back. Any wages you earned prior to your being terminated must be paid to you.

Of course it depends on what the manager said in the report, but you may have a tort claim here, in which damages might include lost wages, amongst other things. You should contact a plaintiff's employment attorney for a consultation.
