I got fired today
    #7125114 -

I was arguing with a co-worker about some orders I was taking and she flipped out and called the boss. He calls me back and says, "what's going on there?"

As I start to explain the situation he tells me that he's firing me. He doesn't say why. He just tells me to leave. I know I have rights. What should I do about this situation?

Get unemployment?

He screws over everyone's hours all the time. I KNOW for a fact that he doesn't do things the way the labor law says. He breaks lots of laws as far as that goes.

I wanted to quit anyway, but I wasn't ready to just yet, besides...I needed the money.


There was no explaination from him and he didn't let me explain the situation at all. That FUCKER.

So...unemployment....here I come.

Seems like there's a law that states they can't fire you for unjust causes or without explaining why they fired you.

I don't know labor laws though. Perhaps someone here will be of better help.

Threaten him with legal action, that always freaks people out.

File complaints and shit if he doesn't follow the law. It'll fuck him over just enough to be funny.

Call him up and ask him. Yes go for un-employment, might take a little to kick in. I would also look for some under the table work in the mean time to keep the pockets lined.

lame. 

I have to say, to try and report him to the labour board and whatnot would end up being a headache.

I'd probably place a phone call anyway though :mad2:

Unemployment Insurance(i assume your in canada right?) isn't to bad.  It's fairly easy to get, especially with your situation(it's a gaurantee almost) and depending on how much you've paid into it, you can make upwards of 740 every two weeks(that's the max EI will pay to anyone).

I'm making 1480 a month and it's just barely enough to live on.  I'm used to making 3000 a month, so it's quite a change.  But if I was to go get a 12/h job, after taxes, I would make the same...actually a little less, than I am now doing nothing :shrug:

I don't know where to start. I know that he fired another employee recently, stating that he wasn't doing his job(which was bullshit). That guy said he was reporting him to the labor law place(whatever that is). See, this guy did all the payroll so he knew what was up, he just never came forward before because he didn't want to lose his job, which he did anyway.

I'm in Illinois.
I worked full time, working 6 days a week. Plus I'd work like 45 hours one week and then the next work like 38 and he wouldn't pay me theovertime for that first week, he put those extra hours in the second week and kinda even it out. :confused:

I believe I've done that far too many times already.

I have evidence of the overtime crap. I keep all my hours. It shows when I've clocked in and out. It shows the total hours worked per week.

Plus, I'm not the only one who's complaining. There are many others. Past and present employees.

I don't need evidence to prove he fired me for no reason. There IS NO REASON. I can get unemployment for sure. I've already started the new job search process.
I don't know if I can get unemployment and work at the same time.

You can if you find under the table work.

well here we have some sort of labour law office or something.  Just phone your city for information and a number if you can't find it in the phonebook.

They probably get thousands of complaints all the time, so don't be surprised if when you first call, you'll be on the phone for an hour with automated messages :wink:

Just write down what you think he's doing against the "labour laws" beforehand(I'd also recommend having a good idea what the labour laws are beforehand as well).  Not paying you for overtime is against labour laws, that's for damn sure.  MAKING you work to much is also against labour laws.  Not giving you a certain amount of break time is again labour laws.

Once you get through, you'll give your information, the place of employment and they'll start their investigation or whatever.  And I imagine it will be a somewhat long process, so don't expect it to happen overnight.

These places are there to help people who get fucked over though and a lot of people don't bother because it seems like such a hassle.  Use this service and get the money you deserve and fuck him over in the process(he'll probably end up getting fined up the ass, especially if they find a lot of shit wrong in payroll)

call your boss up first and ask politely if youre fired then if you still are ask for a reason in writing. also some places have a 90 day probation period where they can fire you for no reason.

If it was a really good job then fight. If it was just some shit job then let it slide.

anything over 90 days they have to give a reason for your termination. Just as in anytime after your 90 days if you were to quit you would need to give a two weeks because if you dont you cant use them as a reference

Unfortunately you are not protected from being fired under the "employment at will" laws put in place in our country. As already mentioned very few states don't have this rule, you can be fired for whatever reason at any time and have no legal recourse.

However, if you were screwed out of wages you DO have rights there. If you kept your paystubs and can gain access to your contract or whatever piece of writing that has your pay information on it, contact a lawyer and use it. If you worked those hours you deserve that pay, withholding wages is ILLEGAL and your boss will face a lot of shit for it.

Sucks you got canned tho.

To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . .

i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug*
