[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1178577, member: 22880"] You don't have to be available for ANYTHING to file a GFT. You don't need to travel, you don't need to do a damn thing. (This is internal Express policy). Either you misread PEOPLE or someone fed you a line of bull.. Go ahead and submit a GFT (don't expect anything out of it though). While that is cooking, get yourself an attorney (you'll most likely need to give them a retainer of between $1500 and $5000 depending on where you live - large city, expect higher retainer). You need to get one that specializes in labor law and wrongful termination suits. You are not aiming to get your job back - you are aiming first for an out-of-court settlement for wrongful termination, then if there isn't enough there to get that, then you want to get unemployment benefits approved in administrative court. If they fired you for falsification WITHOUT having any prior acts, or something you hand wrote with a signature on it - they are on shaky ground. Keying in a wrong DEX code isn't falsification - it is lack of proper training. Your attorney will need to know when you attended Courier training, and will need as much of your training materials as you may still have. I think what Express is going to argue, is that you had TWO packages you DEX 3ed. They are thinking you didn't want to make those out of the way deliveries, and 'falsified' in order to shorten your day. Since it appears that the address was in fact valid - you are left arguing that you weren't properly trained in how to code a package for which you cannot find the location to deliver it. This is why Couriers should ALWAYS use their p-pads for messages (auto log), then for something like an address they cannot locate, send a message BEFORE coding a DEX 3. I remember when I coded a DEX 3, I was read the riot act (it was in fact a good address). The road naming convention was all screwed up (in one place it was XYZ 'street' and another XYZ 'road' ...) and I didn't know that XYZ 'road' even existed (wasn't on my maps) - I was on XYZ 'street' and couldn't find a match with what was on the package. A good labor law attorney will ask you all of these pertinent questions, then make a decision as to whether or not you have grounds for wrongful termination, or whether you'd be wasting your money on litigation.
