Did you realize that you can win unemployment compensation if you are fired unfairly?

yes. i thought everyone knew that. Although I actually didn't do it when I could have done because the b***h who sacked me knew exactly what she was doing and would have found some way of getting round it.

The person should contact an attorney or legal aid.  I don't quite understand the question, but if a person was terminated from a job for a reason they feel isn't fair, then they do have rights.

In a wrongful termination lawsuit,you would if the judge, mediator, referee or jury found in your favor usually receive back pay up to the time of ruling and would probably get your job back. Not that you would have to take it of course. If discrimination is proven then you would be entitled to punitive damages as well. But believe me I don't think that you are going to get rich on the settlement. Hope everything turns out the best for you.

Your first step should be to file for unemployment. If you win your claim, your unemployment wages are paid by the company that fired you. It sounds like you have worked there long enough to qualify. You should also talk to all the other employees who were there that day who witnessed these events. Get written statements from them confirming what happened. You should even talk to the first waitress who refused the table, let her know you are not trying to get her in trouble but rather the manager, and let them all know that it is important that they be as detailed as possible in what they remember. The fact that you swore at your manager is probably not a good thing, but in my experience you are most likely to get the unemployment if you give them all the details.\n\nNow, if you do get the unemployment, the fact that the store now has to pay you even though you aren't working might make them reconsider giving you your job back, to save money.\n\nAs far as getting your manager in trouble, your best option there is probably to go to the regional or district manager. If you can't find contact information for this person at the store, you could try calling Denny's customer support at 1-800-733-6697. Ask them to direct you to the Human Resources department. Before you do this, again get all the support from your coworkers to back you up on this.\n\nFinally, for every one of these situations, it would be in your benefit to talk to an attorney, to know where the law is on your side. A good resource for this is Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., they are well-equipped to handle situations like this. You can find more info about PPLSI at http://www.prepaidlegal.com/info/danhenderson\n\nHope this helps!

I believe you can sue the company for your medical bills, for the wrongful termination, for the lawyer's fees (you will need a lawyer!), court fees, and for the other expenses that you incurred after being fired. You need to do it as soon as possible though, because there are time restrictions. You will most definitely win if you sue.

It depends on the reason.. \nIf you stole from the company, most likely you will not get unemployment.... \nIf you missed a lot of work.. IT depends on your reason for missing work.. they will investigate that.. \nIf you made a few mistakes.. most likely you will get unemployment, because mistakes are mistakes, everyone makes them..\nIf you sexually harassed someone.. there will be an investigation.. \nreally all depends on what you did.

Vacation is a benefit, not a right. If you were terminated, sounds like you didn't deserve the benefit.

If you've worked there for a substantial lenght of time, yes.  It shows your work experience.  You do NOT put the fact that you were terminated on your resume!  Save that for the interview process.  \nI have been canned several times, never for cause, always politics or miserable working conditions.  If you done something wrong, in the interview you should says something like, I made a mistake, I've learned my lesson, I want to move on and prove myself.   It's important to take stock of of yourself if you've done something wrong and learn from your mistake.  Turn over a new leaf, if you will.  \nPersonally, I avoid the question my saying something like, it was not a very professional organization or they have new management, they've made a lot of changes.  Then point my strengths and qualifications.  I'm not saying outright I was fired, but I'm not saying I wasn't.  A white lie, perhaps.  \nThere are a ton of books and websites with advise.  \nI always take the attitude that I am a quality employee and any employer would be lucky to have me.  \nGood luck.\n\nBTW, it NOT illegal for an employer to tell anyone you've been fired, not in CA anyway.  Many employer won't to avoid getting sued, instead they something like "she is NOT eligible for rehire."  In CA, employers are actually required by law to tell potential employers if you've done something that could be detrimental, like steal or try to kill someone.  \n\nLike another poster said, most everyone's been fired at least once.  Helen Gurley Brown was fired from 13 jobs in a row!

unless your being harrassed or something like that you can't get unemployment

It depends on why you were fired. Being married or having kids has nothing to do with you eligibility.

There really is no such thing.  Every state is, to some degree, an employment at will state.  Unless you were fired for one of the following, you are likely out of luck:\n\n-race, sex, gender, religion, disability, national origin, and in some places sexual orientation;\n- taking or requesting leave to care for a serious health condition or a family member's illness, or for your own rpegnancy or adoption;\n- acting in concert with another employee to oppose unfair employment practices;\n- filing a claim against your employer for violating the law;\n- complaining to your employer or a government agency about violating the law\n\nEach of these has a cause of action, though not for wrongful termination.  Wrongful termination is a term used by non-lawyers or (typically) bad/uneducated lawyers.  Generally, it is very, very difficult to sue your employer for firing you.

You probably are a horrible employee, so no.\n\nYou can't sue an employer for your own incompetence.

Your work can not deny you to leave, if you are sick you have the right to leave. If they fire you, then you can get compensation from FMLA because they wrongfully fired you. Unfortunately, you did not know that they can not fire you for being sick-especially when medical attention sounds like it was absolutely necessary.

I would not have given any answer.  Most all firing is subjective when it comes to performance unless they have the job VERY described.  \n\nLegally, in the US, they can only give the dates of employment and the rate you were making.  Anything beyond that is subjective.  If you can, have a friend call the previous employer and say they are thinking of hiring you.."can you tell me about them?"...and see what they say.  If they say anything! ANYTHING bad or derogatory...call 'em up or write them a letter and tell them you understand this is what they presented to an employer that called for references and tell them...if they do that again, you can and will sue...that might just shut them up...if not, many lawyers would be glad to talk to you!!!  \n\nI would not discuss my termination of any job unless I was in an interview face-to-face.

You can get fired for missing a lot of work.

Depends on the state. In some places, you can be fired for almost any reason. (except legally prohibited ones, such as race, gender, etc.)
