Don't they have to pay you at the time they fire you?

The places I have worked (in several US states), have all mailed the last check to me, on the normal pay day... But then, I was never fired.

I agree with Welltraveled.  Plus I've seen stuff like this before.  Not only could they be looking for an excuse to fire you, they could be trying to pressure you out while looking for your replacement. That way, if you quit, they don't have to pay unemployment or worry about lawsuits from firing you.  Welcome to the 21st century.\n\nRegardless, update that resume asap and start interviewing for other positions just in case.

You HAVE to file, and you will get money back unless you made $138,000 in two months. If you did...are they hiring?

If you got officially hired you are due your Pay. They will probably mail it or hand it to you when you have your exit papers signed

You belong to a Union.  The company always pays you well.  No union?  The company always screws you.

If you do, and don't have a union or all employees to back you up, be prepared to be fired.  You won't win any lawsuits either since it's called insubordination and non-performance of duties and a rightful reason for termination of employment.  If you don't like your job situation, the best thing would be to try to find another one you like better.  Depending on the job, there are usually a lot of people standing in line to take it if you don't want it.

I think most states are "at will". Which means the employer doesn't need a reason to fire anyone. They just say, "it's not working out, I have to let you go."  It's very difficult for an attorney to fight for you. Unless you can prove with hard, hard evidence that you abused in some way. File for unemployment and see what happens because if you were fired, they have to pay you or fight it. If they fight it you'll find out why they really fired you. Most employees pay it, unless you were at fault.  Everything happens for a reason. You'll find something better that will make you question why you ever stayed there 8 years! Much Luck to you!

I don't think that your employer has to pay you. You should check with the officials in your state to make sure.

Yes, a company is responsible in most cases when you are laid off. They are obligated to pay your unemployment. If you were hurt on the job, they are responsible for Workman's comp.

This isn't a legal issue, it's a company policy issue.  If you are on salary they have to pay you the whole day, because you showed up; however, they can also charge your vacation time for the hours not worked.

first you should check the contract letter what they describe their selves.\neach company has preparation period for 3,6,9 months if you are not fit they have rghits to extend that or terminated that.\nsome company said in contract letter that if you get confirmation and after that you terminated by themselvs they will give you one month time or they will pay you the\n one month salary.\nif you dint get confirmation they have rights to fire at any time without any fee\nbut if you work in abroad they will give the air fare or ticket.

As long as you were hurt at work they are obligated to pay you your normal salary even if you're on light duty doing a less paying job.

Why would they be fired?

Hello,\n\nIf an employer no longer needs you to do your job and cannot find your an agreeable alternative job in the company, then they give you redundancy pay.\n\nBasically, they pay you to leave your job.\n\nThanks

no.  they can fire you when you work for them.  most jobs are "at will" so the employer can do what they want.  most don't so they don't get sued, but technically they are covered.\n\nit sucks, but it can be done, and if they would do this to you believe me you don't want to work for them.  imagine how horrible it would be.  you would get screwed over every day!

No, a company does not have to pay you during your maternity leave, and it would seem that would include any bonuses.

You have to wait until the company cuts checks (or whenever your pay period ends) and then the company will usually mail it.  It's pretty standard.  Most managers won't just cut you a check when you give your notice or on your last day.
