Fired and reported to BON

I have some questions. A friend lives in MI which is an "at will" state. Michigan also has the rule that if you are fired it has to be reported to BON. The friend was fired because the DON was upset with them and made trumped up charges. Friend talked to the state and that's how friend knows it must be reported. Will my friend have to face BON? Charge was something a long the lines of "unfit". No medical issues involved. No wrong doings on the job. Is the license in jeopardy? How long does the company have to report the firing? How long does it take to hear from BON? Where can you see a list of discipline for Michigan. Sorry for so many questions. Just doesn't seem fair.

    Hello Grammy57!

    I have never heard that merely being terminated in the absence of some other offense would be a mandatory report issue, but as I am not in Michigan I'll give you the web address where you may find some of the answers you are looking for. All the best to you and your friend.

    Thank you. Whomever my friend talked to at the state phone number called told them that all fired persons are reported.

    I went to the site and saw some of the actions taken this past month. This one is concerning:

    01 /02/2015 Violation of General

    Summary Suspension

    Duty/Negligence

    Incompetence

    I don't remember the exact wording of the letter my friend received when fired but it was basically incompetence. Will/can my friend lose their license?

    This is just something we can't answer. We urge your friend to contact her malpractice carrier and a lawyer who specializes in administrative law and is familiar with the BON in MI.

    Best wishes.

    It will depend on whether your friend represents their case if they are reported to the state, and what their investigation findings are.

    The most that your friend can do is tell their side, and above all find a lawyer that is well versed in dealing with the BON.
