how many times do you have to be late for work to be fired?

it really depends on the employer  there is no universal law about late arrivals but check your company's policy on termination and you might see a late arrival policy.\n\nAlso an employer can write you up for being late and so many write ups can lead you to being fired.

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.

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.

Everyone is allowed  two days off work. These days do not have to be consecutive. This is the law. If the employee chooses to work 7 days a week, that is up to the boss to allow or not.

It depends on your state, check with your labor board office in your state.  In California they usuually give fired employees their check on the date of termination, employees who quit are supposed to get it within 72 hours.  If they don't the employee can file a complaint with the labor board and get a days pay for every day late the check is, so if you don't get paid for a week after getting fired, they'd also owe you a few days as penalty but will probably only pay you if the labor board makes them.

not calling in for a week is considered 'job abandonment', in which case, you have no case against them. I know this is a legit reason for termination, because it was used on me. However, I *had* called in. In fact, I had worked a full 10 hour shift during the time they claim they had not heard from me. However, it wasn't worth it to me to fight them in court. Maybe I should have. Turns out, they were fighting like 10 lawsuits at one time.

Depends on your company. Most places have policies against frivolous internet usage on company time. That is why they pay you to do their work, not whatever you want to do. But maybe yours doesnt. You might want to check before you get fired.

You should not be fired because you are ill. The District has some type of grounds for days ill - teacher personal says.. I know that they either do or should .. anyways. If you get fired because you are ill, then bring it to the media and I will support you to the fullest.

It depends.  I've been called 3 times in the past year.  The first time I asked for it to be postponed because I was planning my wedding.  The second time (the time I requested to be called) I never called, and my number was actually picked the first day so they called me and asked me why I wasn't there.  I told them I never received the letter, so I wasn't aware of the date & she asked me if I could come in the next day or if I required it to be postponed again.  I asked for it to be postponed and I received my jury summons last month and had to start calling sunday evening, and luckily my number was never called!  I guess if you evade long enough they will be a little more stern, but for the most part they were really nice to me & I'm glad I waited because I had a really high juror number this time!  Good Luck.

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.
