Am I within my own rights to view a record if someone complained about me?

Someone is complaining about me to HR stating that I discriminated against a group and acted like their boss. No proof was given. No emails were given. No paperwork was given to me. I only received a phone call asking me to stop.

Unless the right to review such a record has been given under the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, you can't review it. The fact is that a company can set the terms of the workplace much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination).
