is this grounds for firing?

Harassment and insubordination.\n\nAnd if you are an officer in the army or police force I think they could call it conduct unbecoming an officer.\n\nSorry...even if he deserved it you're done.\n\nHope you did not need the job too bad.\n\nGood luck finding a new one!\n\nMaybe you should try to get a job writing for MAD Magazine?  Or something with the comedy network.

If you reeeally need this job, I'd go to the Labor Board. It sounds like A$Shole wanted to find a reason to get rid of you.  You might come out on top in this one, but even so, will your employers make your job a living hell by always looking for legal ways to fire you again and again? Just think it over.  "Choose your battles" was some of the best advice I ever got.

Even for "at will" employers, they cannot terminate an employee for an illegal reason. So if you have evidence that your termination was illegal, then I would seek the advice of an employment lawyer.

You have a few options at hand.  The first thing I would do is have someone you trust but your old company doesnt know call and do an inquiry on you as if they were checking your references.  This way you can find out what is being said.  If they are saying anything other than your date of hire, and basic info you can sue them for slander.  The next thing you need to do is check how you are listing them on your applications.  Are you putting down the reason for discharge?  If so, stop. Put down TBD (to be discussed).  Then, when you go for an interview, fudge the truth a bit.  Tell the prospective employer that you were getting harrassed and that they fired you unjustfully for that without a full investigation.  That will hit their soft spot and help you get in easier.  NEVER tell an employer you got fired for attendance problems.  BIG no no.  You can also try some of the temp agencies.  They are good for getting your foot back in the doors.  Best of luck to you.

You have the right to get fired, moved sideways or downsized. Treating a building for mould probably isn't cheap. Watch your back.

It's not a question of whether or not it's legal, it's a matter of whether or not it's REASONABLE.  If your employer were to be sued for wrongful termination, the magistrate would have to consider whether or not they acted reasonably in firing somebody for having to use the toilet.\n\nPersonally, I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to have that case.  Cha-Ching!!!\n\nI find it impossible to imagine that a magistrate, let alone a JURY, would consider that to be a reasonable practice.

I would report it to the Human Resources department myself, if you thought it was a real threat to your boss. She was probably just blowing off, I think.. But maybe..

The company is out of line! Why does the company give you an email for whatever reason? Does the company have a policy issue for using emails? If not? somebody at the company should be fired and should know that is a problem since most people do not know email can be use prove as in writing in  Black and White. The company is out of line and they can be in trouble.

Well not really unless he actually fires you of something for it!

Why would they be fired?

Have you thought about going into business for yourself, say human resources consulting given your experience?  Given the amount of information needed to start your own business, that search will keep you occupied for a few weeks minimum.\n\nAnd if you're like most people, there's always the "I'd like to start a business in..." something totally unrelated to what you've been doing before.  Now's the time to get busy!\n------\nI have to agree with other posters who say that getting fired over trivial mistakes over employment dates is a crock.  That's a sign the employer is firing for some other reason, possibly discrimination.  If you think that may be the case, talk with a lawyer....

It is when you are fired illegally.

Point it out to your boss.  Your boss should take the initaitve to watch him and fire him if he is out of line.

This happens more often then you would think.\n\nHonestly determine what led to your firing.\nThen, decide what you want to do and start looking.\n\nIt may take time, but you will find a new job.\n\nEverything happens for a reason and you will be okay.

The employer would have a case for firing the person for cause for making the unauthorized charge. That person could also be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits because their termination would be for misconduct. Also, the person could also be open to criminal charges if they did not make immediate restitution.
