Optional Information

State/Country relating to Question: Louisiana

Already Tried:
I am a manager in a lab. I of the peopel I supervise took off. In the comment section she wrote "court." This is the only information I knew and did not ask more information and approved it. The same day this person took off, another employee took off sick. I told the other employees in the lab we were going to be short staff because we had 2 people were out: 1 sick and 1 had to go to court.

1st was it wrong to mention 1 person had court?

The very next day I was written up because someone siad that the individual was upset that I told everyone that she went to court but when I read the statement it had details that I had not mention:
It said that I told people that she was supenid to court dealing with her daughter.
That seems like slander and mostly flas statement because I never gave or knew any details. What should I do?

Answer

you should report to HR that you never made the statements you were accused of, and request that the file/record me amended to be more accurate.

I agree with the second part of your answer but you did not answer the first part. Can you mention: Person took off to go to court?

Accepted Answer

Yes, so long as you do state anything false or that is considered private. A person merely having to go court is not specific enough to disclose confidential information when the reason could be to to dispute a parking or traffic ticket, to be a witness, to serve jurt duty, as a plaintiff in a suit, or as a defendant.
