I gave a two week notice, but only worked out 8 days due to 2 funerals I had to attend. I had been employed there for 4 months. The facility is now telling new prospective employers that I did not work out my 2 wk notice and that I am not rehirable and that my employment did not go "smooth" yet my 90 day eval was a 3 out of 5.In other words, I am being blackballed now. I live in Indiana. What course of action should I now take?

There's really nothing you can do. They are legally allowed to say whether you are rehirable or not. Try to explain to the new prospective employers and provide proof.

Pretty much none.
Most defamation laws carve out an exception for personal or professional opinions, including employer recommendations. So, unless the employer is stating facts that are objectively false, there's little recource.
If you didn't work all 10 days of the 2 weeks, then technically you did not work all of those 2 weeks. And their definition of "smooth" might be 4 or 5 out of 5 on your evals. If if their company would not rehire you, that's their decision.
Sorry, but that's the way the law works. It doesn't always provide a remedy for every wrong that someone does to you.

You did not work out your two week notice and at most facilities that would make you not rehireable, and if you left after only 4 months then it is likley that your employment there was not smooth or at least that you didn't enjoy the job. You don't appear to be "black-balled" you appear to not be getting job because of a negative employment history.
When I was in the position of hiring someone I would look very questioningly on a person who had left a job after only four months and did not work out her notice (unless given the reasoning up front), but still I would take someone who had worked 1 or more years at their previous employer over someone who only worked 4 months.

Calling in unwell 6 circumstances over 11 months is quite some unwell time. that's a coincidence that they terminated you an identical time yet another worker got here back, on condition that whether they keep money by making use of getting a PT worker, mutually with your previous checklist of being unwell isn't good. stating terminated or fired may be a "gray" section. So say you state terminated, they call your former company and ask why terminated? in the event that they have been to assert which you have been off 6 circumstances and that's extra beneficial than the corporate customary, "might" be ok, because of the fact that's the certainty. Your superb wager is to be prematurely and undemanding. Did you in straight forward terms have a undesirable 12 months of strep throat, flu, colds etc and in previous years been properly? good success

Doesn't sound like black-balling to me. SOunds like they are telling their side of the story, which you are admitting.
