Are you at will? No union, not a government employee, no contract of employment? If none of these apply to you then you are almost certainly "at will." What does that mean? The employer needs absolutely no reason to fire you. They can't target you as a member of a protected class or group of employees but otherwise they need no reason to let you go.

If none of the above apply to you then you will probably never see your accuser(s). The employees above can insist on hearings or go to arbitrations. Most at will employees have no such rights.

Assuming none of the above apply to you the answer to your question is "no."

Never quit. Lawyer up before you "potentially" (need way more facts to assess that) lose your job. And good luck.
