Wht to do if I was terminated from my last job because they “thought” I was taking money?

They never gave proof and they never gave me a termination letter. Also, when I spoke to the unemployment agency, they pretty much told me that they said I was terminated for a whole different cause. I was awarded my unemployment but can I do anything else further?

Under the laws of all states in this country an employer is terminable at the will of his or her employer so long as the termination is not based upon some form of discrimination based upon ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, or religion.

Since no criminal charges were ever filed against you and you are receiving unemployment benefits, you seemingly do not have any legal recourse from what you have written against your former employer.

To be sure, I suggest that you consult with a labor law attorney and/or a representative with your local department of labor about the matter you have written about to see what legal recourse if any you may have against your former employer.
