I worked as a cashier for a grocery store and quit when I was having problems with another employee, I later found out that they put in my file that I was terminated. How can I rectify this?

The only "employment history" is their internal files. There is not an "employment history" file that follows you around your whole life.
Unless you spent years at that job, you can just skip it when filling out future applications. If it was only a few months, no one will notice or care.
If it was 4 years of your life, they might say "what were you doing between 2002 and 2006"? but if it was just, say, last summer, don't mention to anyone.
Or if you want to mention it, and if anyone bothers to check, usually the other company will only give the dates you were there, not your reason for leaving, pay, or anything else (companies get sued now for giving out too much information).
I wouldn't worry about it too much.

How did you get access to your employee file? Do you have any proof that you quit like a letter of resignation??? You could ask to speak with the HR department or Manager to correct the discrepancy. If you were a good employee, they'd have no reason to challenge your claim of terminated versus voluntary termination. Be prepared to answer how you found out what their files say. I'd be more concerned by that.

It is according to state regulations. If it is a free will state there isn;t much you can do. Termination is a polite way of saying that person is no longer working here. If you quit without notice then you were terminated. There are only certain things an employer is allowed to tell, like "would you rehire this person".

The position was a cashier, not a career threatening position. Unless you know for sure they did this, it is probably just rumor. I would write a letter and move on. Go to school, learn a trade, etc. and get a better job. But if you dwell on this, it will bring you down.

A phone call or a letter from a job service to your former employer will clear this up, unless they want to be found guilty of supplying false information.

I'd take it to the labor board. BUT then again there are all so many do we cheat them and how law firms out there that you just might be able to sue them. You know all the pain and suffering and now you having been traumatized and all. GO FOR IT.

if you were there for more than 6 months then you want them to say that, because are elligable for unemployment if fired but not if you quit, if there for a shorter period, then it doesnt matter, you cant get them to do a thing about it,its possible, but not worth the aggrevation

Write your old employer a letter asking that they correct your record.

Why would you do that? It is lying.
