Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I was an executive assistant manager and an assistant manager came to me saying she took a lunch break. I questioned her because I doubted she actually did. The was persistent and she signed a form saying she did,so I put her in for a break. I told my store manager about the situation because I didn't believe her but had no proof. I was later fired for stealing time. Was this Right, or legal?
