No. Wiretapping, eavesdropping on phone conversations is illegal. Recording a conversation you are not part of cannot be used for any purpose whatsoever. If you record your own phone conversations the other person must be informed prior to the conversation and sometimes an audible beep every few seconds is required. Listening to radio communications such as a police scanner is allowed as long as what the listener has heard is never divulged to another person.
The only legal means of recording without others knowledge is by court order.
If you have the employer's permission to record the conversation, yes. Otherwise, the laws vary from state to state regarding the circumstances in which it is or is not legal to record a conversation without the other person's knowledge or permission.

Was the employee forewarned of the consequences of his or her actions?

Was an effort made before discharge to determine whether the employee was guilty as charged? Was the investigation conducted fairly and objectively? Did the employer obtain substantial evidence of the employee's guilt? Were the rules applied fairly and without discrimination?

(i) How serious is the immediate offence of the employee which precipitated the discharge (for example, the contrast between theft and absenteeism)? (ii) Was the employee's conduct premeditated, or repetitive; or instead, was it a momentary and emotional aberration, perhaps provoked by someone else (for example, in a fight between two employees)? (iii) Does the employee have a record of long service with the employer in which he proved an able worker and enjoyed a relatively free disciplinary history? (iv) Has the employer attempted earlier and more moderate forms of corrective discipline of this employee which did not prove successful in solving the problem for example, of persistent lateness or absenteeism)? (v) Is the discharge of this individual employee in accord with the consistent policies of the employer or does it appear to single out this person for arbitrary and harsh treatment (an issue which seems to arise particularly in cases of discipline for wildcat strikes)?
