What to do if according to company policy, you need 3 moving violations to terminate/suspend an employee and my husband doesn’tdeny his 2 priors but was wrongfully accused of the 3rd violation?

It was due to backing up and damage the companys property. Long story short, they promised a position for him in their department for something else. When he went for his second inteview, they called him back and said they gave it to someone else but that they will offer him a severance pay. Just today they called and said they no longer can offer that to him because he left on good terms. Which in return, they now say that he can’t collect unemployment either because he voluntarily quit. Does he have a case?

Based upon what you have written about your husband was forced out of his position by his employer. I suggest that he immediately make an unemployment claim and consult with a labor law attorney and/or a representative with his local department of labor to see what his legal recourse and options are.
