I just got fired today. Long story short, I saw this coming a few weeks before this happened. It seemed a little staged to me and they waited til the very end of the month to do it so i wouldnt get paid on the next period.
So , my questions are:
1) Shoulnt I get paid an unemployment indemnization?
2) Shouldt they have given me a two week notice? (its supposed to be both ways, right?)

You can file for unemployment, but you may not get it... depends on the reason for your termination... Insubordination, for example, is YOUR fault for being terminated... Try to file and see what they say.
No two week notice is necessary... think about it... if they gave you notice that you were going to be fired, you would then become a liability to the company because you wouldn't care about the quality of your work anymore.
The only reason YOU would give a two week notice to quit would be for future references. Many employers tell their employees to just leave immediately instead of hanging out for two weeks.

If you are living in the U.S., the answers are:
1. They must pay you for every hour you have worked. They don't have to pay you for future hours you would have worked.
2. They are not required to give you a "two week notice" or any notice at all. They can simply let you go.
3. When you are fired, you usually cannot collect unemployment benefits. They are for people who were laid off or terminated for reasons beyond their control.

Fired without cause; start with the Unemployment office or the state website. File TODAY; usually a 2 week waiting period before you see any cash.
Fire at will; no employer gives you a 2 week notice. Makes no sense.

By law, there is nothing that says you or the employer has to give a two week notice, your employment was "at will". You can now file for unemployment as long as you were not fired for stealing or behavior that put others in danger.

1. Depends on why you were terminated.
2. Nope. It doesn't work that way. Most jobs are "at will" and you can be let go at any time for any reason.
I'm sorry to hear about what happened. Good luck.

Apply for unemployment....you may or may not get it. They do not have to give you any notice....it's not a 2 way street.

Go ahead and sign up for unemployment benefits anyway. Do not delay. You may or may not get it, but it won't hurt to try and the employment commission is also instrumental to help you find another job.

If you work "at will" as is the case in most states, then either party can terminate the employer/employee relationship at any time with or without notice.
Depending on why you were fired you may or may not qualify for unemployment. You should certainly file for it.
The timing of them firing you is immaterial.
