So a little background: I started a valet job on the weekends as a part time job a month ago. Last night (sunday) I parked about 10 cars. We are required to write our initials and parking level the car is parked on, on each ticket that goes with the keys. So last night I left at 10:15pm, there is one other valet who worked until 12am.
Today around 7pm I get a text message from my boss Lori at the valet job. She says "Caleb (other valet) found damage on a vehicle we believe you parked last and need to know what happened"
Me: I know I did no damage to nothing, what kind of car was it?
Lori: The car hasn't moved today (I did audit last night and worked this morning) and Caleb says he didn't park it last and the damage looks fresh, it was also backed into the pallets that were at the back of the parking spot..Black lexus in sub basement.
Me: Nope never drove it. Every car I parked I marked the tag with my initials like we are supposed to. Did you check the cameras?
Lori: The car was parked at 6:10pm. I have it on camera. One camera shows you driving by with no damage and the other shows you exiting the garage after the park.
Me: I know 100% I didnt drive that car, I want to see the video.
Lori: Ok and another camera shows Caleb in the lobby at the same time.
Me: whos initials are on the tag?
Lori: Caleb's however the video shows otherwise.
Me: I didnt drive the car, his initials are on the tag, and our hand writing is different, we also look identical (blonde hair, blue eyes, same height, same build), whyu would I lie about damaging a car? End of story.
So how do I fight this legally? I asked Lori for her boss' phone number and name, she won't give it to me. So my thought is she did it, left the tag blank or Caleb did since he looks identical to me.
CLIFF NOTES: I get blamed for damaging a Lexus when I never drove one yesterday. I can name each car I drove yesterday. Need legal advise on what to do next. I am definitately leaving this job, cant believe they treat people like this. I know we are responsible for damages we do, but I did no damage.
Thanks in advace. She sent pics of the damage I'll get them uploaded once I figure it out.
