You are more than likely in an Employee at Will State meaning you can be fired for anything as long as it doesn't violate any state or Federal laws. You say you didn't do it. Do what? When they brought you into the office to suspend you did they discuss there investigative methods and how they determined it was you who did it? Unless you are the minority where you work (only female or latina) chances of pursuing anything is zilch. The bigger issue here is collecting unemployment. Again since you do not mention what the suspension was over it is very difficult to say if you can even collect. If you are being accused of theft it means they had grounds to terminate you and they can fight your claim on these grounds not to collect. You can collect unemployment if you were terminated without cause. If there is cause (insubordination, violence, theft, excessive lateness or absences, etc...) your employer can request a "protest form" with anyone of these grounds and you can be very much denied by The Department of Labor Unemployment Insurance Board. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do based on the little information you have offered.

Hiring a lawyer for minor legal problems can be expensive, but there are websites like LawGuru, FindLaw and other places where you can get free legal advice. I found this website useful - http://www.uelp.org/freelegal.html

I'm not a lawyer, but likely there is not going to be anything you can do about it. I work HR. If you work in an employment at will state, you are probably out of luck completely.

It also depends on what you are being accused of, but my experience shows that the law favors the employer in these types of cases. But the good news is that the unemployment office usually favors the employee.

You don't really say where you are ? what state you are employed or any particulars except "i didn't do it". unfortunately most states are "right to work" which means they don't have to give any reasons for dismissal. hopefully you may get more of a fair `hearing` than you anticipate.

that said if it is `really` imminent try to negotiate the best severance you can get and move on.
