QUESTION
What legal recourse do I have against wrongful sexual harassment charge?
Asked on Apr 12th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was wrongfully accused of sexual harassment. I was suspended from work for two days without pay. I believe that she and a co-worker of mine made up the story to get me fired. I was not able to defend myself and she had no witnesses (because it didn't happen). What legal recourse do I have in this case?

I know of no remedy available to you, other than to sue the complainer for defamation/slander.

Hire an attorney to sue perhaps for malicious prosecution or defamation.

You have very little in the way of legal recourse and are lucky that you have not suffered greater harm. Proving a slander or malicious prosecution is extremely difficult and it would be very doubtful that the recovery of your today's wages could support the attorneys fees required to even consider the case.
