I gave notice a job and then they fired me on my last day. Is that legal?

Yes it is legal, you can be fired at any time for any reason because you work at will.

Well I would be looking into this a bit more. Why would they fire you on the last day of you job? this makes absolutely no sense.
Now it depends on where you live that due diligence comes into play. Check with your local labour board to see how legal this is.

Do you care that you were fired? Now you can get unemployement if you want. There are certain reasons that they can NOT fire you for (like age), but they can fire you for NO reason at any time. If the next company asks you why you left, there is no reason to tell them you were fired. Even if you did, I doubt they will hold it against you.

Absolutely,
The 2 weeks notice is a courtesy, not a legal requirement.
(Unless you have something in your employment contract about termination notification - then whatever is in there applies.)
Most likely, you are an "At Will" employee, and they can fire you without cause (meaning you don't have to have performed poorly or broken rules etc. - they can just tell you that you are done.)
So when you told them you wanted to leave, they took you up on your offer early!

Unfortunately yes. Just as you do not need to give a 2 week notice to your employer, they do not need to allow you to keep your 2 weeks with them. They may be frustrated or not want a "lame duck" employee working there, or be afraid you have access to sensitive customer information that might benefit your new employer and therefore want you out of there sooner. Perfectly legal.

i would not honor a 2 week be conscious with a nanny. in case you're firing her, what if she retaliates at the same time as w/your babies? to boot, if she's no longer doing her job, why might you choose to pay her for 2 extra weeks? possibly you ought to sue her for the wages you have already paid!

Yes, they can. What grounds did they use to fire you? If you're not working right now, file for unemployment because you were terminated.

Why would they fire you then??? Ask your former employer why you were fired. They have to have some reason for firing you.
