Both myself and husband work in the same hotel.My hubby is the Head Chef. On N.Y. Eve the hotel hosted a function for 160 people. The hotel owner was at the festivities and at about 3am we joined him at the bar for a drink. We were discussing the sucessful Christmas season etc when all of a sudden he turned nasty (he had had a few drinks to many) He flew into a rage about why the chef hadn't fired a certain chef in the kitchen, asked why he'd employed a "spear-thrower" a female Phillapino chef and actually blamed my husband for his mother's recent death. She y died a few weeks ago of a heart attack. My husband walked away stunned and I went to speak with the boss. When I asked how he could say these things I was told to F-off. We were both due to only start work two days later. Since then we have had no written/verbal verification to our job status,all we have received is a text mesg from the GM stating NO RETURN TO HOTEL DUTY.
We will take this further-any advice r jobs???

I have in the past worked for a large company and dealt with issues such as this , if you are in the uk the only case for instant dismissal is gross misconduct ,theft,using or threatening violence
or racial /sexual abuse in most these instances can be served with written/verbal warnings simultainously after dismissal other cases need to follow the statutory proceedure similar to :
verbal warning...........unrecorded
verbal warning ..........recorded
written warning...........
Final written warning/dismissal
you have the right to an independant witness at any of the above stages to be present apart from an unrecorded verbal warning

It is important to know which state you live in. In most states your employment is "at-will" meaning you are not legally required to keep working for them, and they are not legally required to continue your employment. You can be fired for wearing a shirt the boss doesn't like.
If you fall into a legally protected class under the EEOC, you could have a case if you feel that YOU were fired because of this (not because your husband hired someone else that was a protected class).
You may be able to receive unemployment compensation since you were not terminated for gross misconduct. Make sure you talk to someone at the hotel confirming you were fired. Do they have an HR Department? Save the text message. Otherwise, they might say you abandoned your jobs by not showing up to work.

right it truly is what maximum folk do no longer seem to comprehend. A verbal caution is a non formal written caution. In different words, if an worker is verbally reprimanded this can be written up right into a suitable written caution with the notation the guy has been formally warned and then positioned into the persons report. A verbal caution with extremely no longer some thing written might want to be an asinine flow on the portion of the organisation.

Many states are employment-at-will states, meaning that an employer has the right to terminate employment at any time, for any reason, cause or no cause. Some states have limited protections. You would need to consult a local labor attorney if you want to pursue this.
Regardless of the law, you really need to find a new place to work. Have you filed for unemployment? You should do this immediately. From what you've said, they may even try to contest your unemployment insurance, but you can beat them there, for whatever satisfaction that brings.

It happened to me and I still don't know why. No one ever said anything to me. I went to work Monday after having Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off, and when I checked the schedule, my name was scratched off and a new girl was on there. When I tried to ask the manager about it, he kept walking away and told me that he was busy. The other employees told me that the manager told them that I was fired the day before, but he never told me. I don't think that they are suppose to fire people without notification, but some employers are doing it anyway.

Assuming you are in the UK and you have worked in the hotel for at least a year you can take him to an industrial tribunal for unfair dismissal.
If there were witnesses that you can identify you should also report him for the racist remarks made about your colleague, the local press will love that one.
Unless he changes his mind and apologises to all concerned he is in trouble.
Talk to an employment solicitor asap.

Its totally out of order and sounds like unfair dismissal, u can only be sacked without warning for gross misconduct which you have NOT done! i would take that further
