What is the name of your state? TX
Hi,
I did a search and I couldn't see a similar case --
I accepted a job position as a C programmer that had a 1 month probation period before becoming full time.
I was told today after only 2 weeks that I did not have the skills for the job and I was paid for the 2 weeks and escorted out of the building.
Do I have a case to receive the other 2 weeks of pay (about $3000) as a contract employee even though I am not going to work those 2 weeks? During those 2 weeks I worked, the first week was spent getting my laptop setup and I really only programmed a little for the last few days.
There was no contract other than just some brief bullet points in the offer letter:
"The terms of the one month of contract will be:
• Independent contractor
• Reporting to the CTO
• Rate of $6,100 for 1 month
• You will invoice us every 2 weeks
• No company benefits, all taxes will be your responsibility
If we mutually agree after the first month, you will be offered full time employment with the following terms:"
Thanks for your help!
