Add Comment Question: If on schedule for following week and it is posted can you be fired during pay period? Do they have to have a concrete reason also? I was demised for blanching fries which was untrue! Also pay period is wrong on my pay stub. Answer: You can be fired during the pay period, but you must be provided with all worked wages. Further, while the employer does not need a reason to fire you, it must provide you with severance pay. If the reason they provided was blanching fries, then you are owed severance pay. To determine how much severance pay you are owed, please visit the Free Severance Calculator (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/) and contact our firm.
