Is it Slander?

[wkjezz]

I recently resigned from my job as an Assistant Store Manager for Walmart Stores Inc.

My exit papers clearly noted this was my choice and a voluntary resignation. However, a few individuals observed my former Manager to have claimed I was terminated for sexual harassment. My exit paper never stated this; and I was never part of a "Red Book" investigation for such a claim to be accurate. Given the fact i still live the small city, and may pf my piers refuse to associate with me, I believe the comment to be highly defamatory, considering I valued my integrity and made extra special assurances that anything I ever said, did or acted upon wouldnot be seen as inappropriate, let alone questionable. Is this grounds for a Slander case? If so would it be Walmart,or the Individual who made the comments that would be the defendant?

What are your damages? Without damages you have no case

Yes you need to see your damages. You would also need sufficient evidence proving that these claims were said and by who, e.g. witness statements or the paperwork detailing this was why your contract was terminated.
