Allied/barton Security wrongful termination of employment Columbus Ohio

Shannon, I understand your frustration in this matter. While I do not know what the laws are in your state on such things, I am basing my comment here strictly on what you have documented here.

In my state, you, as a private guard, are an employee-at-will. You can be terminated, removed from your jobsite, taken off the schedule, etc. at the whim of your employer or by the client. If this is the case in your state, you don't have a whole lot of recourse in the matter.

As a guard, you are expendible. The security guard industry is like that and it wouldn't matter what kind of proof you have in your favor. I suspect that the final decision in your case may not have come from your employer, but from the client. If a client says they want you off their property...then you're out. Period; end of story. Again, whether you did anything wrong or not (even if you did what a client told you to do) is irrelevent.

The guard company doesn't have to give you anything. Even if they did, it would probably be rather vague. Something more along the lines of "failure to follow procedure".

My suggestion to you is this; take it as a learning experience. All guard providing companies I have ever had to deal with over the years have been the same...none were very good either with service or their employees. The jobs are a dime a dozen and it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to find another.

As has been posted numerous times by numerous others on this site, guard work is not a career; it is a hold over job until you find something better...nothing more.
