Not every state is an “at will” state, but if yours is one an employer can fire an employee without any reason.

While it seems heartless, these are tough times and employers, big and small, are having to cut costs. It’s hard for small chains to compete with Walmart without employing the same strategies they do such as part- time, no benefit, low wage employees.

If there is no union, and you’ve looked at state laws, the unfortunate probability is that these former employees don’t have a leg to stand on to get anything but the vacation pay. They should try a few contingency attorneys, they’ll quickly find out if try have a case by talking to them.
