What happened to ‘innocent until proven guilty’?

It applies to criminal punishment, and nothing else.

Are mere allegations enough to lose your job?

That depends (here, where the “job” is almost certainly an explicit contract, not at-will employment) on terms of the contractual relationship, but its very common for contracts to have termination clauses that don't require a criminal conviction. (They may or may not require some payment.)
