This one really takes the cake! An employee that I fired last week for missing six days of work in his first five weeks here claims he is going to file a discrimination suit against us. He claims that we discriminated against him because he is a veteran of the Iraq war.

I fired him because he called in sick too much, which I didn't think he was, for lying, and a poor attitude. Another employee saw him driving down the road just minutes after he called in sick for the sixth time. I also caught him lying about a few other things

Fortunately, I have all his time records and made documentation of his missed work and a few other issue. I can't image a lawyer taking his case. Personally, I think he is blowing a bunch of hot air!
