Fired, but Not Told: Is that Legal?
Published on March 27th, 2008 by Alan Sklover
Question: I was fired from my job 2 weeks ago. I was notified and was constantly being told to call back to see if I was to be given hours. Is this legal?
Bruce, Pennsylvania
Answer: There is no legal requirement to tell someone they’ve been fired. But, if you are on a salary or weekly payroll, and you were available to come in, you are probably due to be paid for those weeks. I would suggest you call the State Labor Department or Labor Board for the state you live in, and ask to file a complaint.
Best, Al Sklover
