I need some suggestions on how to proceed. I applied for a job online, got the interview, got the job, started orientation today. Now I got a call from HR saying that I didn't click a check mark on a box on the application saying I worked there before.
Honestly I forgot. It was 5 years ago, the HR person reminded me. I got a job in Home health. I wasn't even sure at the time who owned the agency. But in either case, I took the job because I was under the impression that I would be working assignments in my area. As it turned out 'some' of my assignments were in my area (45-60 minutes away from the office) and it only paid, well lets just say very little. The remainder of the assignments were in the area of the office. I got most of the way through training before I actually understood this was going to be the way it was. In either case, I only worked a few days, I thought it was only a couple of days, turns out it was 8. Now the HR person is threatening termination because I falsified my application. I honestly had forgotten about the job, it was only 8 days, 5 years ago. I've been through nursing school since then.
I just don't know what to do. They said that they will talk to the head of nursing to decide what should be done, I may just have to refill out an application or I get terminated.
This is just awful. I really need this job. What does anyone suggest I do? I have orientation tomorrow again, and it goes all day. I orient all week in fact. They said it will be a couple of days before I know what needs to be done. So I am possibly going through the motions only to find out I will lose my job, over 8 days 5 years ago. Help!!??
