Unhappy Resignation or termination

I recently resigned my full time position at a health care facility & requested my status be changed to part time or on call. I feel my employer accepted the change in my status by signing me up for "on call" shifts the week following my completion of full time status. 2 days before I was to have completed my full time status, I received a phone call. I was informed my services were no longer needed, effective immediately. My employer refused to give me a reason or explanation. They suddenly began treating me in a very hostile manner. They chose to call it an early acceptance of my resignation. I had not resigned from the facility, I only resigned my full time position & requested a change of status. I later found out there had been an on site investigation by a regulatory agency, on the same day they had signed me up for the on call shifts. The next day I received the disturbing phone call. I feel they blame me for the investigation & "let me go" in retaliation & to send an intimidating message to other employees. I think they documented it as an early acceptance of my resignation to avoid legal repercussions. I'm a nurse & therefore protected by addional statutes against retaliation for reporting a facility, when there is a threat to patient safety. Our license mandates it as a nurses' obligation to report such concerns. I feel I was "terninated" & have a case to support this. I would appreciate input from others.

The problem with Wrongful Termination cases are proving them. Your employer will deny that you termination was based on retaliation and it is always quite difficult to prove the opposite.

If I were you I would set up initial consultations with several attorneys in your area and discuss your case with them. They will be the best judge as to whether or not you have a "strong" case of Wrongful Termination
