I recently have been terminated but my boss did not write a letter or tell me in person he told me over the phone. My question is, is my termination in effect or can I request a letter of dismissal from him and when I receive that my two weeks of notice will begin? All from a legal stand point of course.

I have been working for a fire alarm company for 7 months I just got dismissed today I did not receive a dismissal letter to sign I did not sign anything the reason that was given to me was that a customer emailed and requested that I no longer go to their site. I asked to see the email but my employer refused, I had no issues with the customer so I don't think that that is the truth. I did not receive any written warning or any previous contact from my employer about this issue I went to work did my job and my employer called me to come to the office sat me down told me that's the reason he has to let me go did not have me sign anything. So now I'm stuck with nothing and looking for another job. I just want to know if this was correct procedure and if I am entitled to anything.

Why did I get terminated without cause effective immediately from my job AFTER handing in my resignation? I am aware it is legal for a business to do this but would it of not made more sense to let me go early and not give me a letter of termination without cause? I am quite confused as no explanation was given. I fear this might look bad going forward with my new job I have accepted. I didn’t sign any papers. I was simply given the letter and was told today would be my last day and to accept the letter as notice. The entire encounter lasted maybe 2 minutes.

I work for a company and was tinformed our property has been sold. The closing date is in 4 weeks and I am in a management position and have not been advised of whom the new owners are or if I will continue in my position or continue to be employed with the new company. Although this is not a dismissal question-what are my rights?

My employer said I was being laid off for one reason, but my termiation latter says something else. Is there anything I can do about it?
