Unfair termination..?

Question

wat can i do wen my employer verbally terminated my employment? and didn't pay my salary for 2 mths.. no termination letter given and dey doesn't wanna accept my resignation letter..

My wages is solely base on my commissions.. Now that he replied a letter stated that I'm not deir employee and I did not render any services to the company after my meeting with them (which is absolutely not TRUE).. need more info..

Answer 1

If they terminate you they do not have to accept a resignation letter. If you weren't a salary employee, almost all hourly jobs have the right to terminate you at any time, for just about any reason. The only limitations are if they terminate you based on race, religion, or some other constitutional violation.

If you're terminated, they don't have to accept a letter of resignation. Resignation means you quit. Termination means you were forcibly removed from the company.

Your best bet is to get a reason for termination (Which they must provide you). If the reason seems unfair, or unreasonable, you might have a dispute, but chances are good it won't benefit you anywhere but the unemployment office.

If you were a salary employee, you will need to review your contract for specific details of termination, and what they can and cannot do.

Edit: I just realized you mentioned salary. If they terminated you and then didn't pay you your salary, this is perfectly legit. If they didn't pay your salary for two months and THEN terminated you, you have a lawsuit on your hands.

Again though, your only case is that the "reason" they terminated you violated either your contract with the company, or a constitutional right. Otherwise, it's perfectly legit.

Answer 2

Are you sure they didn't give you a termination letter and you just can't read it because it spells more than three words correctly?

Most states allow either the employer or employee to terminate the employment with no advance warning (assuming there is no contract in place). They cannot, however, hold your pay for more than a state specified amount of time, anywhere from one to fourteen days. If they did, you need to complain to your state's Department of Labor. They may be fined and forced to pay you for every day past their limit they held your pay.
