Question
I was terminated today from my position as a golf professional for checking a sports line for a member on the phone at the time, violating the "gambling" policy outlined in our employee manual. I have no records in my personal file, and have an impecable reputation at the club. I was told that legal advice from the corporate attorney dicated no gray are, but rather black and white. The member in question even called in defending me in the alleged wrong doing. Could a wrongful termination suit be an option?

Optional Information
scottsdale, Arizona
Already Tried:
I did tape record the conversation of the termination. It was told of a "separation" and never a termination. My immediate supervisor never confronted me on the issue, and i ended up in HR/GM's office very suddenly. I have had 4 employees call me today, as well as members who have heard of this and cannot believe what happened. Impecable record, with no write-ups or disciplinary action of any kind in the last 13 months.
Accepted Answer
Hello, I know this is difficult. However if the employer has rules and policies that you violated then the employer has the right to terminate you. If you were aware of the policy/rule, but disregarded such rule that is a larger issues. However if you were not aware of such rules then you should write a letter of appeal to the top executive requesting reconsideration and to be reinstated. You should spell out your lack of knowledge of such policy. Discuss your performance and your talents and value you bring to the company. Otherwise you will be limited on any action.

Answer
If you violated a rule the employer had all rights to terminate therefore this would not support a wrongful discharge. I know this is difficult. You may consider writing the appeal letter.
