DEFAMATION AND THE CA WORKPLACE

In CA, defamation is against the law. What exactly is defamation? Defamation is injury to your reputation or character resulting from the false statements or actions of another. Defamation is a false attack on your good name, perhaps by your boss or a co-worker. Defamation is an improper and unlawful attack against your reputation. Defend yourself against lies with the help of an experienced employment lawyer.

There are two types of defamation: slander and libel. Libel is usually written or can be depicted in a misleading photo. Slander is an oral statement that tends to injure you in respect to your office, profession, trade or business. Often what is said suggests that you lack integrity, honesty, incompetence, or that you possess other reprehensible personal characteristics. Slander can take the form of someone talking trash about you behind your back or spreading or repeating lies and rumors.
