I am a supervisor at a Community Center. This place is supposedly a non-profit organization. However, I have not seen anything that suggest this place is non-profit. When speaking to the CEO, they seem to avoid questions about where money flows and to where it goes. Either way, this is not the main reason why I am posting this thread.

I have been recently written up for very controvertial and circumstantial events pertaining to my staff. These are things that my staff did, not me. It has come to my attention that they are putting a papertrail on me to terminate me and bring in another person in my position for a higher salary. It is obvious, not only because the write ups were on fasle accusations, but also because I had one of my managers agree with me that they are putting a paper trail on me in order to justify bringing someone in my position for a higher salary. I expressed these things in my rebuttal to my write up. HR has not contacted me since.

Is this legal? Is a company allowed to create papertrail to justify bringing in someone else? I personally think it is retaliation, because my supervisor seems to hate me. I have also been harrassed, threatened by HR and my manager, and put under duress to sign my first write up. I did not sign the second one. I have not heard form HR. They will not reply to my phone calls or emails. What should I do?

Q: Is a company allowed to create papertrail to justify bringing in someone else?

A: Sounds like an exceptionally good idea to me.

even if everything in the write up is false and I have documents to prove that everything on the write up are lies and fasle?

Yep, pretty much. Although without a bona fide contract, they don't even need to do that; they could discharge you at any time for any reason that does not violate the law.

Now if you are fired and your employer contests UI benefits, you may have a different issue.
