Soo I've been suspended for around a month now without any pay for things proven to be made up, things I didn't do, and no reason for suspicion of such things. That's right I was suspended over word of mouth alone..

 I pay bills, live paycheck to paycheck like an average American and have not missed a day of work nor have I ever been late to work since hired. I was suspended on June 28th after working there for 61 days over these allegations, then It was agreed on in the meeting with union and district managers that happened over a week after I was suspended on July 8th that the allegations were false and was told then I would have my job back. Was told to wait to hear back after that, the union rep wanted them to give me paid time off since there was nothing proving the allegations. The manager didn't approve the paid time off, instead we waited another 12 days for a response. The story in an offer the union rep received from the assistant store manager by July 20th said that to get my job back I had to wait even longer, the offer told a different story saying I had been smoking marijuana 10 mins before clocking in (which I didn't do or say, so now I feel my words are being twisted) and that I have to go through a program that will take another few weeks to get my job back! I told them I want to keep my employment but declined the offer because it's not what I was suspended over.

 I've made it clear since the start of my employment I smoked hemp flower occasionally in my free time. I'm not admitting wrong doing to anything I was already told in the meeting I would have my job back and I was very open about my smoking habits when hired, I mentioned I don't take cigarette breaks, only smoked hemp flower, legal in this state..and was told at that time by the hiring manager it's "okay to smoke if it doesn't interfere with work hours." The suspension without pay over false allegations that I was using a substance at work and working intoxicated can easily be disproven, made up because it stated I was in the restroom for long periods of time and returning intoxicated which I never have done so.

 The allegations are false, they did all this to me over no proof or evidence no one's admitting they are wrong only going along as if I did something horrible with no proof now I was told this would be getting resolved but when they can't come up with proof of anything in the suspension they are now trying to use my hemp smoking habits against me. I was told it's ok to smoke in my own time and use it against me a month later apart from why they said I was originally suspended...is that right to be suspended over a month time and go through a program, something about drug classes? that will take another few weeks without pay they said if I want my job back all this over things I never did. Who knows, what would you do in this situation?

Suspended from Kroger over anonymous made up allegations no evidence or proof of them being true. After a month of no work or pay I'm still being told I can get my job back....need to share & get some advice.
