Falsely accused and denied annual raise

[mscandor]

My annual review was postponed several times and occurred about five weeks after my anniversary and during that period an unsigned and anonymous typewritten letter was received by my employer claiming I had violated privacy practices. I have not seen the letter but I can say without any uncertainty that I did not do what I was accused of. I was formally written up and denied my annual raise. My immediate supervisor is in support of my making a formal written appeal based on the questionable validity of this document since it is completely anonymous and unsigned. There is a possibility that my ex-husband could be behind this but I don't see any way that I could confirm that.

My question is, if I am denied my raise and or having my write up expunged after a reasonable written appeal, is there any other legal defense I might have?

Thank you,
MsCandor

No, since the law does not require that you receive an annual raise at all. Nor does the law prohibit your employer from writing you up if they believe it warranted, even if they are wrong.

There are some things that are unfair but that do not come with a legal remedy.

A similar thing happened to a co-worker a month before...she was unfairly written up and was denied her raise also. Sounds like I may just be dealing with a less than reputable employer and I should just move on and call this a learning experience. Thank you very much for your help. MsCandor
