VerifiedHello and welcome to JustAnswer. My name is Ben and I'm a licensed attorney. Please note this site is for general information for educational purposes only and my responses do not constitute legal advice, nor do your questions or my responses establish an attorney-client relationship or are subject to attorney-client privilege. Also please note that this conversation is posted online on a public forum.

You might get a pop-up offering you a phone call. Such an offer is generated automatically by the system; it is no coming from me. It is not necessary to tell me you are not interested in paying for the call. You could simply ignore it.
.
While we are working together, you might experience a wait time. This is because I am working with more than one customer at the same time. Please do not click the "Work with another Expert" button or send messages asking me to respond. Doing either of these things will cause you more delays. Even if it takes a little while, I promise I will respond when I am able to.
.
You asked what you can do. All you can do is present your side of the story and defend yourself. The employer does not know yet which side is telling the truth, but they are doing the prudent thing by suspending you pending the results of the investigation. You might consider cooperating fully in the investigation and explain that this assistant is disgruntled and not telling the truth.
