Please help!

I was employed as an admin. assistant/bookkeeper for 10 months and resigned my position in January 08. I did not give notice as the environment became intolerable. My former employer is now suing me in a civil suit claiming that I did not do my job to their expectations and they had to hire outside help to come in and train after I left my position. They are suing me for $20,000 in damages claiming I was incompetant. This suit has only arisen after I pursued getting my final pay and vacation pay as well as my ROE through employment standards.

Can they sue me even though I have done nothing wrong? They had given me permission to do some extra hours which they signed my paycheques for and are now claiming also that I didn't work extra hours and they want the money back!! Someone please help!

Something else I wanted to add is that there are no time sheets. All hours were conveyed verbally to the payroll person and there are no records of what anybody did or didn't work regarding number of hours. I know I did my job and feel that this law suit is malicious and the only reason they are doing this is because they have taken it personally that I quit.

Some advice would be really helpful as this whole thing is very stressful.

I had posted this message quite some time ago and I am hoping that if I refresh it that I may get some help.

Someone?? Anyone?
