Small company, new contracts and no one is satisfied. Manager said this about job descriptions on the new contracts " the 1 thing i want to note is JDs are not required for contracts and they can change at any time.

A colleague and several witnesses accused me of verbal abuse and harassment but I have no recollection of the event. There were a couple of witnesses. It was brought up to HR and I am currently on 30 day probation. I have no recollection of the event but was written up automatically. For breaching the company's Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Prevention Policy. Specifically, for using offensive, inappropriate, and derogatory language towards a colleague. HR Email regarding the event when I enquire about the incident: Thank you for your inquiry. In accordance with applicable privacy laws in British Columbia, Canada, and California, including the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), I am unable to share the full investigation report, as it contains confidential information and witness statements. As discussed in our meeting on Friday, March 21, 2025, the incident occurred on Wednesday, February 19, 2025: a specific time was not provided but was said it happened prior to the scheduled Team Dinner that night. According to multiple witnesses, including Stephanie, you approached Stephanie and another colleague, initially appearing to greet them. However, you then directed a comment toward Stephanie, and you were heard stating, “and this b*tch,” followed by “didn’t accept requests.” The interaction was very brief, as Stephanie walked away in shock. HR conducted a thorough and impartial investigation, ensuring that all relevant witnesses were properly interviewed and all facts carefully considered. Based on the findings, a written warning and a 30-day probation period were deemed appropriate. This determination was made because the investigation was not based solely on conflicting statements but was supported by multiple witness accounts. If you wish to provide a formal response, you may do so by adding your statement to the attached written warning. Should you require additional space, you may submit your response in a Word document, PDF, or email along with the signed warning. This documentation will remain confidential in compliant with the privacy laws mentioned above and will be kept in your file. Please be reminded that any attempts to question or retaliate against those who are, or those you may think are involved in the investigation, will result in disciplinary actions, up to and including termination. Please let me know if you have any further questions or require further clarification.
I am a full time nurse in an urgent care. My employer has decided to decrease hours in the urgent care. I will be losing 5 hours in a 2week pay period. There is no union and I do not have a contract. I have worked for the clinic for 22years. They have offered me to work an extra weekend to make up the lost hours. I do not wish to do that. Is there anything I can do?
