I live in Virginia and the place I work keeps firing people and making people quit.  I want to stay until July 1st so I have exactly a year. \nMy problem is that production has fallen way down, they cut most everyone's hours and then the days we come in the try to get us to Voluntarily leave, then if enough don't they Mandatorily send us home.\nI thought they were required by law to give paperwork stating they made me leave. Then I can take the paper to the unemployment office.  Does anyone know the legalities of this?

It is called layoff and recall I do not know if they are required to do it but this paperwork may help you get unemployment or other assistance

The question really can't be answered without more information.  Was it truly without warning?  I doubt it.  But assuming it was, then the answer to your question is "no."  You are entitled to due process, which means notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to having benefits cut off.  \n\nTalk to your local department of health and human services.  Or, see if there are free legal clinics in your area.

There are "right to work" states and "work at will" states, they type of employment place in effect in the state where you are employed is important to knwo to answer the question.\n\nEssentially in a right to work state, once employed an employer cannot fire you except under serious circumstances, those empployers will usually practice a form of progressive discipline.  (3 strikes and you're out!)\n\nIn an at-will state the employer can terminate you without cause.  Employers may have a progressive discipline program in place but need not adhere to it in order to terminate.\n\nEither way you indicate your boss may have had reasons to discipline you and you gave notice, so a panel is unlikely to support a wrongful discharge claim.  2 weeks notice is never necessary, it is a courtesy, and in some right to work states by announcing your intention to leave the job you forfeit your protection under the law. \n\nSome companies, especially small business owners, don't accept two weeks notice if the employee is going to another job bcause it demonstrates the employee's heart is no longer in the job.  The figure why pay someone for two weeks of mediocre work and give them 2 weeks to steal customers for the new job.

They are legally required to provide you with a safe work place take the records that you have from the injury call the equivilant to your labour relations board or workers compenstation board (you might just find out they have a huge file on the company already).  If they try to fire you from your job even better with a lawyer you can take them to court for the lack of a safe work enviroment and then for lost wages and future lost wages.  If they arent going to look out for your safety without the threat of legal action do you really want to keep working for them anyway?

I thought it was illegal for a company to fire you.  They don't have to hold your old job but they have to have a job for you. I would like to thank you for your sacrifice, it's because of people like you that I can enjoy my freedom. Shame on all of the companies who don't honor our veterans. As the wife of an active duty soldier it really burns me up.  good luck to you, and again THANK YOU!!!! Maybe call your local news affiliates and bring it to thier attention.

if you want to get fired you still have to show up to work. By not showing up that is job abandonment. I would just don't try that hard and i guess just be a slacker.

You are entitled to nothing unless otherwise specified in your employment contract, if you have one.  In most cases, you are an "at will employee."  Meaning, they can fire you for any reason (obviously except for biased reasons) and you can quit for any reason.

Going back to your contract, you said it doesn't mention a method of resignation, but you didn't say if the contract states if you're required to be there x amount of time.  Pour over it very carefully.  We cannot give you a definitive answer without actually knowing every word in your contract, so it wouldn't matter if someone who answered was familiar with the law or not.\n\nAs far as walking in and quitting tomorrow, it's simply just poor business etiquette to not give an employer any notice of resignation.  It only makes you look bad, especially for any future references.  Any decent new employer would respect the fact that you need to give notice to your current employer.

First find out if you live in whats called a "No Fault state" \nthat means ether party can walk away from employment with out notice.\nsome states do require notice be given and in that case you mom could have a civil suit.\n\nas to making a claim tell her to go to the labor office first thing in the morning\nas long as she's worked more than 60 days for them she's good.\nthe only reason it could be denied would be if she quit.

Getting fired isn't that hard. Show up late, often.  Show up under the influence of alcohol a couple of times (not smashed drunk, just "tipsy")\n\nI would read your contract first, it sounds like you have a strange one and there has to be an "out".  You can not be expected to work there for years and STILL have to pay to leave (and why do you have to pay to leave?  did they pay for a relocation and/or training?)\n\nSounds like you may be stuck, good luck.

I live in California and they can fire regular employee anytime they want for no reason.  The last thing you want to do is give a lawyer any money.  Many times people take a dismissal personal.  If it is personal they are not a company you want to work for.    Maybe you worked too hard and the assignment is now not as long as they thought it would be.  Many reasons come into play.  Maybe you were working through a temp agency and the temp agency found someone they can make a larger spread on.  There could be any number of reasons.\n   The answer is drive on find something better.  When a door slams shut two windows fly open.

Sorry to hear that..... legally you have to be with a company for 2 years so if you are getting a redundancy package then your lucky as they have no legal obligation to do so.....  but i would speak to your union rep just to be sure as they can mediate for you.... also start looking for a job now  don't leave it till you have finished there.... good luck

#1. how long did you work for this new job? if it was under three months, unemployment probably hasn't gotten your info yet. employers are only obligated to report quarterly. \n#2. over three months, do you have your pay stubs? were taxes deducted? did they make you fill out a W-4 form when you started working for them? - If "yes" go to the IRS and tell them the sittuation since you probably won't be getting a w2 from them at tax time either\n#3. call them and tell them that you want a record of your disciplinary actions such as write ups and repremands. If they refuse, got to the labor board and see what kind of troule you can cause for them there by finding an intake manager and telling your whole story again\n\n\ngood luck

check with your local labor board....and file with them BEFORE you cause a stink at work.  If your boos is threatening you with termination over illegal policies, I am willing to bet the he will say you went to the labor board after some type of disciplinary action.\n\nIn Ca. the employee is not required to find a replacement when calling in ill.....and to be honest this seems like an asinine policy.  Now, if it's to cover a scheduled shift you just want covered, then yes, as the employee you need to find coverage for your shift.  \n\nWhy are you "required" to call in 6 hours prior to calling in ill?  Most people are asleep up until about an hour to two hours before going to work.....how in the world would you know you might not be able to make it in in such a long amount of time????  I would also question the labor board about this policy.\n\nDo you have your "new hire" hand book?  What do the policies regarding sick time state?  Most companies have a legal department to look over such policies.

I'm from California so it maybe a bit different.  I got laid off a few months ago and I claimed unemployment.  Just go to your Government website (www.MI.gov) and fill out the claim. You should be good to go.  Good Luck

Well first i have to say ur manager is taking advatage of you. If you work at big company like wall mart or walgreens or CVS its a good thing. First, they have to pay you for that day b/c you worked. First, write a letter detailing the situation and then make four copies and sign on all four of them. first. give on copy to your manager and say that "if i am paid, one letter will go to his boss or (district manager) and other to employee relations. and lastu keep it for our record. \n\nLOOK bro what ever they  say u were schduled on that day so u came to work, theres nothing they can do \nDON't forget--- check if that store gives you overtime pay for working holiday most likely they do \n  i was in a similar situation !!!!\n\n Please respond to me and tell me what happen ok \n\n fsi_million@yahoo.con

Wellll, hmmmm\n\nIf you don't want to wreck the place, or call people names, or do anything that your boss can take you to court for to get paid for - like wrecking things, losing clients, and running up the phone bill...\n\n...then you could refuse to do work you disagree with\n...be late repeatedly\n...leave work early without telling anyone\n...be absent repeatedly\n...take unscheduled breaks frequently\n...make your lunch hour last and last - day after day\n...if you have a computer at work download a \n   messenger and chat the day away. \n\nIf you do all of these it really shouldn't take long before you find yourself on the unemployment line.
