worngful termination

[robmcb817]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas.

I worked for a companyfor 3 months. I was always on time and did well beyond what was asked of me. I was asked to take an extra load out after having been at work 9 hours already. I was told I would be paid 2 extra days pay for this. When I got my check, I was only paid 1 additional day. When I asked for my money, I was fired. When I filed for unemployment, they stated I was never on time and wanted to do things my way. I had been continuously told that I was the best driver they had and had never been written up or warned for anything.

Thank you for your fascinating story.
Did you have a QUESTION???

Let's take a somewhat educated guess. If you are asking whether this was a wrongful termination under the LAW, no, it was not. Google "wrongful termination".

If you have other questions, post back.

I'm not trying to pick on you robmcb,you did get the dirty end of the stick,but wrongful termination...not a chance. Goggle the term like patty asked you to do,you will see why it wasn't wrongful. There is a big misconception about wrongful termination. The questions on this forum would be greatly reduced if Op's would make themselves aware of the definition of wrongful termination. I wish you well and hope you find a better employer next time.

However, you should appeal your unemployment denial. If what you say is true, they won't be able to prove their allegations and you will win the appeal.

Amazing how we can discern the questions when the poster never asked any. We're awesome!
