Legally, your employer CAN fire you for failing to show up for work, even during a hurricane.\n\nhere is an article on the issue:\nhttp://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/weather/hurricaneguide/orl-asecspechwork060505jun05,0,6899897.story?coll=orl-weather-hurr-lessons\n\nHope this helps!

Um...as long as you ask for ID sometime, you shouldn't get fired. Unless your boss likes to over-analyze the law.

Just let them do it, but keep the docs notes.  Start a paper trail of evidence just to cover yourself in any eventuality.  If they do dismiss you, then take legal advice and (possibly) sue on grounds of unfair dismissal.  Don't hint to you company you are thinking of this as they will be able to make your life awful without firing you, in an effort to get you to resign.  You could let them do this then speak to your bosses boss if you would feel comfortable doing this.  It does seem like they are acting unfairly, but tred carefully and plan your moves, don't get angry and aggressive.

Do not admit it!\nWhat is the worst that can happen? You will get fired. But if you said the truth you will not get the job in the first place!

Depends on the state. In some places, you can be fired for almost any reason. (except legally prohibited ones, such as race, gender, etc.)

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.

They will not give you a two week notice when they fire you.\nThink about it

Every state has a .gov website.  Many employers will attempt to intimidate you due to their inherent belief that you are somewhat ignorant or you wouldn't be working for them or any one else barely making a living.  Others just want things to go as smoothly as possible while they make money.  If you are having problems keep a journal of sorts written proof of what you are saying goes a long way.  Write down exactly what happened, who was involved and what was said or done and the date and times.  If the problems become bad enough approach the state regulating body.  I have put the Maryland websites below that might offer some help.  If you are in doubt, don't hesistate to contact someone, they will forward you to the right person.  However if you are trying to blow the whistle and still keep you job or you don't want to make to many waves, call and do it annonymously as any complaint to the state will contain your name and then if your boss wants to they will make your life hell or find some "legit" reason to fire you.  You may just want to look for another job if you can so you don't have to worry about it though...\nGood luck

They wouldn't take you serious if you left, and told them,  they would think you were just mad ex-employee. go to the Boss, in strictest of sincerety and confidence and state your observations, let him decide. Then, if you don't like the way they handle it, then leave and report it to higher authority until it is resolved. Never watch an injustice, at least try to make it better.

There is nothing really that you can do  You were an employee at will and they are free to do what they want.  If you were fired ad believe you were let go beacuse of your age or some disability, then you can contact the State for assistance.  But it is very unlikley that you have much recourse.

Perhaps you could try asking your former supervisor how you could avoid putting yourself in the same situation at your next place of employment.  If you live in a right to work state they don't have to give you a reason.  Good luck to you.

There is no law that states they can not fire you over the phone. I would ask them, of course, why you are being fired. And find out when you can expect your final check and what monies will be included in your final check (unused vacation, sick, etc.). I would also find out when you can expect your COBRA, 401(k) paperwork. I would also ask them if they plan to contenst any unemployment claims that you make with the state. And what their employment verification policy is. Most companies only give title, dates of employment and salary if a potential future employer calls them for a reference. I would confirm that this is their policy. \n\nIf you feel you are being fired wrongfully, I would request a copy of your personnel file and contact an attorney.

The only way "around" it is to be straightforward about it, be proactive.  Let them know about it but don't offer the details, and if they ask treat it as a unique occurance.  If you don't tell them and they find out on their own you're fired.

Tell the truth and then tell them to prove you did something wrong if they want to fire you.  If they do fire you, then you can take them to court as you did nothing wrong.

You need to check with your local workforce commission. It does vary by state. Some states have "employment at will" clauses like Texas, Fl and several others. \n\nBut if you feel like you were wrongfully terminated. Depending on the size of the comapny, even if the state has an "employment at will" clause you can still sue or collect unemployment. \n\nGet with your local workforce comission. That is the best advice.

may as well quit your job then so you wont have to be fired down the road then. sure, i doubt you would be fired over that one thing.  but youre going to turn into the liability really quickly if you do that.  look at it this way,  you already spend hours in a place you dont want to be to make your boss happy so you can continue to have a job.  whats a few more hours in a place where you can have a hot dog and a coke?  good luck
