You see, I have a fine education in business from Dilbert. From what I've seen, as long as you are a main character, you won't get laid off. However, if you are lame, and do not have a quirky personality, than you will probably get fired within a day. Hope this helps.

No. But they are tied to any kind of regulations(personnel manual or union contract) they have set. Also you should check with the labor laws in your state. There may be something there. You do have to be paid for the hours you work up until the final date of resignation/termination. The term "gross misconduct" is not generally used lightly. If this is the case you will want to look closely at any personnel rules/regulation manual or contract if you have one.

Can your employer fire you for shop lifting at another store?

short answer: No. But you may be fired for other reasons (listed below). And your employer may keep a closer eye on you to find such reasons. But if they fire you BECAUSE you shoplifted at a different store, then you go to Employee Standards and file a complaint. Quote- "There are a number of circumstances where an employer is not required to give notice of termination. Probably the most important of these circumstances is termination for "just cause." Examples of just cause include:willful misconduct,disobedience, ordeliberate neglect of duty, where these actions are not condoned by the employer. Other circumstances that permit an employer to terminate employment without giving notice include:the employee was hired for a definite term or task of less than 12 months, at the end of which the employment terminates (the 12-month limit for term or task does not apply to oil well drilling or geophysical exploration),the employee was laid off after refusing an offer by the employer of reasonable alternative work,the employee refuses work made available through a seniority system,the employee is not provided with work because a strike or lockout is taking place at the employee's place of employment,the employee is employed under an agreement by which the employee may elect either to work or not to work for a temporary period when requested by the employer,the contract of employment is or has become impossible for the employer to perform by reason of unforeseeable or unpreventable causes beyond the control of the employer,the employee was hired on a seasonal basis and at the end of the season the employment is terminated,the employee is on temporary layoff and does not return to work within seven days after being requested to do so, in writing, by the employer,the employee is in the construction industry,the employee is employed in the cutting, removal, burning or other disposal of trees and/or brush for the primary purpose of clearing land. When an employee's employment is terminated for 'just cause', the employer must pay all wages, overtime, general holiday pay and vacation pay due the employee within ten days following the date of termination. The employer must be able to support their position that there was just cause for dismissal without notice." quote- "The length of notice an employer is required to give depends on the duration of employment and must be in writing. The minimum notice requirements that employers must give are:one week - for employment of more than three months, but less than two yearstwo weeks - for employment of two years, but less than four years,four weeks - for employment of four years, but less than six years,five weeks - for employment of six years, but less than eight years,six weeks - for employment of eight years, but less than 10 years, andeight weeks - for employment of 10 years or more. An employer may choose to give pay for the required notice period instead of providing notice. A combination of written notice and pay in lieu of notice (termination pay) is also acceptable."

Is an employer able to with hold payroll for 3 or 4 weeks?

An employer must pay wages on the designated pay date within the state's mandatory pay day laws. As an example: The pay period is 14 days (biweekly) and the pay date is Friday (as long as the state allows) after the pay period ended. The wages must be available to the employee that Friday. As an example: The pay period is 14 days (biweekly) and the pay date is 2 weeks later after the pay period ended (within state guidelines). The wages must be available to the employee on the announced pay date. If the employer says they will hold the employee's check "until..." the employee meets the employer's requirement, as in turning in borrowed equipment, or office keys, etc, then the employer is breaking the state's payday law. http://www.dol.gov/esa/contacts/state_of.htm


Does an employer have to pay you if you give a twon week notice and they tell you that you dont have to give the notice?

No employer is under any obligation to pay an employee who gives a two-week notice the additional two weeks. An employer can accept your notice but not accept the date of your notice. The notice is supposed to be the employee's attempt to eliminate or minimize the employer's trouble for the employee having left the position, by giving his/her employer time to find and train a replacement. But whether or not your employer decides to keep you on for additional time after you've submitted your notice is between you and the employer. Your employer is under no more obligation to keep you there than you are to stay there an additional two weeks. It's important additionally to see if the state in which you live is an "at will" state. In many states, an employer can essentially hire or fire for any or no cause.
