roninryu8	What state do you live in? There may be a rights to work law where they have to have a reason to fire you. If not, then it's legal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rogelio S	i think that its not legal, if something is wrong they have to let you know and then you will know, but not this way you have to do something about it, for now talk to the manager on the store, and after that do what you have to, goo luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Muay Thai Swede	They shoulda tol you tho. Any employer can terminate your employment at anytime without any reason. But they shoulda told ya. Everything is totally legal tho, and nothing you can take to court if thats what you're wondering. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

justaguy23456	It seems like you don't have a contract with that company. That means you are an "at will" employee - to use the correct legal term. It means you can quit at any time or be fired/laid off at any time with no advance notice. It is completely legal unless you have some proof that the company discriminated against you in some way - such as gender, ethnic group, or religion. Then you would need to go through a long legal process to try to get compensation. But in your case, you were probably just working for jerks. There are lots of them in management. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The Chesire Cat	You need to contact Human Resources..something does not seem right with this situation... I need more info. from both sides to really help and give some decent advice.. so PLEASE contact CORPORATE H.R. and find out what has happened or is happening to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Choco	Hrm, I know in some states (like AZ) you can be fired for no reason at all. They don't have to inform you, so it's not technically illegal. What they did is pretty awful though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

led head	Very rude, not illegal. Make sure you get your pay for when you did work ASAP - there are laws for this and if they don't pay you they are in trouble. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vogue	wait so you got fired without notice? i think thats a little awkward... definitely call the manager first, phone is always easier then in person and just straight up ask what the problem is. you didnt do anything wrong and yeah... definitely give them a call! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

2cute4words	If you live in a right to work state, then it is perfectly legal, managers can fire you for anything. Talk to the person tomorrow and ask why they let you go. To me that is just pretty darn tacky. Check with the labor union in your area to and talk with them and see what they say. It's pretty low that someone fires you without notifying you Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vimesfan01	I don't see anything illegal about it. It is a really crappy way of treating you, but not illegal. I doubt you had a binding contract. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

circa 1980	Sounds like you got used for Black friday. Call the Better Business Bureau or Labor Union. I could see it being legal to not put you on the schedule, but to make you an inactive employee without your knowledge? I'd look into it more, if you want to go through the trouble. Are you sure you weren't scheduled and didn't know it, so they put you as a "no show"? Definitely talk to that manager to find out what's going on. Maybe there was some mis-communication. OR someone is not doing thier job correctly and this needs to be noticed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
