Hey everyone, I work at a Domino’s and I’m in a tough spot regarding my resignation. I texted my manager to submit my two weeks’ notice, and he filled out the official resignation form and signed my name without my permission. When I confronted him, he said I could fill out a new form when I came in, but the forged one would still be on file. I’m worried this could affect my employment record and future references.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Documented everything, including the text message.
Asked HR for a copy of the original form, but haven’t received it yet.
Requested that the forged form be removed from my file, but got no clear response.
I’m hesitant to fill out a new form until I know the forged one will be removed. I’m also considering legal advice if HR doesn’t address this properly. Has anyone dealt with something like this? What else can I do to protect my rights? Am I entitled to any legal grounds here? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
This doesn’t seem like a legal issue unless the forged signature is used for something unlawful. If it’s just in your file, it might not be a crime unless misrepresented.

That makes sense, but I’m still worried about how it could affect future references.
Is there a way to communicate with HR? If he didn’t lie on the resignation form, it’s more unethical than illegal. Just keep everything in writing moving forward.

He didn’t put anything untruthful on it, but it’s still frustrating. I plan to submit a new form stating that this is the only one I signed.
Document everything and submit the new form as you mentioned. State clearly that it’s the only resignation form you are aware of. It’s essential to have a record that protects you.

I appreciate the advice! I’ll ensure everything is documented.
While this situation is unethical, it might not have legal ramifications unless the signature is used for deceitful purposes. It’s good you’re considering legal advice if HR doesn’t handle it properly.
