My employer changed my schedule and didn't tell me at all. Later on in the week he called me on a day I was not originally scheduled to work and asked why I wasn't there and I told him I wasn't scheduled for that day. He ended the conversation with me being fired and to come and get my check and sign some papers. I have copies of the original schedule for that week and the one that he made for the week.....Can I sue?

Happened to me and alot of people I know. Unfortunatly....most of the people doing these jobs don't make enough money to fight this in court,,,,,so they just go on. Yes...you can sue....now whether you win...or are right.....well...that's another issue.

Sue? Aye you a union employee? Under contract? Member of collective bargaining? If you are at will then no way.
Management has the right to schedule as they see fit. I'm sure his side is you were informed but must have forgot. Prove otherwise.

Honestly I don't know a lot about law, but I would think you would need to be ABSOLUTELY SURE before you tried any legal action{s}. Maybe he told you earlier and you don't remember. Make sure he didn't send you an e-mail that you didn't read or leave you a phone message that you didn't listen to.

Do you live in a "right to work" State? If so, you are out of luck. They can fire you for any or no reason.
