Answer 1

If you have been employed there for three months or under they can as you are considered to be on trial. How long have you worked there. did they give no reason at all. How did they mark your seperation papers. were you given any warnings at all. give me more details and I will try to help you. I have owned and run business so I know a bit. you can email me with more details and I will get back to you if you wish

Answer 2

It often depends on your state's laws. For example, I live in Texas, which is considered an "at-will" employment state. That means that you are employed at the will of the employer. You can be fired, and the company does not have to give you a reason.

Now, that doesn't mean that it happens very often. In fact, it's pretty uncommon, because if they don't give a valid reason for firing you, then you are guaranteed unemployment compensation (which the company pays a portion of). But technically, from a legal standpoint, they don't need a reason. But like I said, it depends on your state's law.

Answer 3

Assuming you are not under a collective bargaining agreement, or union, it will depend on what state you are in. Many states are "employ at will" and allow an employer to terminate an employee without giving a reason.

Answer 4

Almost all states are employment at will states, which means they can fire you for any reason or no reason, as long as it's not because you're a member of a protected class such as fired because of your race, gender, religion, or some other reason protected by law. It might not be fair, but it's legal.

If you have some kind of contract (union or otherwise) you might be protected.

Answer 5

I worked for a corporation that had a termination policy for all employees- termination for no reason at all-whenever they felt like it-D

Answer 6

a place of employment must give you a reason for dismissal... they cannot legally let you go without one. even if the reason the company gives you is not a true one they still have to give you a reason.

Answer 7

I have no clue. Depends on the corp.'s policy.
