Where are my HR bumpies?

I was hired by an administrator of a nursing home without my supervisor's input. From day one she has not given me all the details needed to complete my job. She has been overheard bad mouthing me to other employees. I've gone to HR and the administrator to have this issue resolved to no avail.

I was called into the administrator's office yesterday to be written up and put on one day suspension because my supervisor sent in a complaint (along with two other employees' complaints) to corporate who immediately recommended I be terminated. The report indicates I accessed my supervisor's email and time clock info (both password protected) while she was on vacation. (The other complaints are somewhat valid, but hearsay from the two other employees). I have never accessed her info (and only accessed my own info twice on this system since being there.)

I've asked for an investigation by IT to determine if the program was accessed using her login info on the dates in question. The email that she said I "admitted" to was an email which had been forwarded to me by the administrator outlining his expectations for my job duties. This email had previously been sent to supervisor. So in essence she thinks I got into her email to obtain this info. The onsite HR is useless. The administrator is telling me that he believes me and his hands are tied. Said supervisor was terminated today for something unrelated (but made another complaint about me during her termination). Any other recommendations for proving my innocence? I'm mostly upset because there was no investigation, just the assumption that i actually committed those offenses because I "admitted" them to her --which is untrue.

Eta- when i took my complaints to hr previously, I was told supervisor was worried I was trying to take her job which was 100% untrue and to just shrug it off.

    I'm not in hr but it seems ridiculous that they would believe someone (or just take the words of someone without proof) who has already proven that they are not a good/trustworthy employee. I'm not sure what your options are. I think in most states you are an at will employee and they can terminate/reprimand as they see fit. However, I'd certainly get everything and anything in writing at least to have it for an unemployment claim, should you get there. Try to do as much correspondence in email especially with the administrator who seems to believe you. Good luck!

    HR Manager here. After reading your story, I'm upset for you, but can understand - a lot of times bureaucracy can get in the way of things. I guess I'm confused though - what exactly are you wanting to know? Said supervisor was terminated, and it sounds like she was deflecting to try to get attention taken away from her own shortcomings, but since she is no longer there, maybe you will have an easier time of things? Are you looking to undo the previous discipline?
    Deeds is correct in that you are an at-will employee, so right or wrong, they can term you at any time for anything. That doesn't mean you won't have recourse for a wrongful termination suit, but most people don't go through that hassle. Just be careful and keep good documentation of everything ( get everything you can in writing). You can PM me if you have more questions.

    Thanks everyone. @ncase2‌ I'm wanting the HR Coordinator and Administrator to know that these accusations are false. I feel like I'm being looked down upon because of the false accusations of others. The fact that there was no investigation prior to my reprimand is what is bothering me the most. Like I'm guilty before a trial, if you will. I am one to admit my faults and weaknesses, but when a meeting is called by my supervisor to include everyone in the department except me so she can fish for complaints is more of a setup to me. I will gladly accept any disciplinary action for something I'm actually guilty of.
