90%+ don't sue. It's worth the risk to them, because it'll probably cost more to sue than you'll make in salary that year.

That, and they'll just come up with something later, which the courts usually buy.

I'm not sure it would be great working for someone who accuses you of assisting in robbing the store, even if you don't get fired...

Of course, that's assuming that the manager won't get fired himself. The manager seems rather desperate.

Speer needs to keep his cool.

well as has been said, in a non-union environment you can always get fired for pretty much anything Reinstatement is not a remedy you can claim (nor would most people want).

IN Canada, I believe the rules are similar in every province. You are entitled to notice on termination unless terminated "for cause" (or if you had a term employment to begin with). The statutory notice period is low (two weeks or a month) but the common law would bump that significantly for longer term employees. I don't know what the rules are in PA but in Canada you would probably be able to be fired without any just casue if they gave you a month's pay in lieu of notice.

As for the police, when you ARE totally innocent, it is best to co-operate fully. They should be able to clear you.

Can't companies just fire you for "failure to meet expectations?"

Sure, if you are a white man, and a leader in the community.

i was constantly rejected for jobs because they said they needed full-time people to work any time they needed them, not on certain days and times only.

If you can stand the schedule, try looking for night work. Pay is usually higher. Work 9PM-5AM, schedule classes in the AM, sleep the afternoon.

In the UK if you are unfairly dismissed you can ask for reinsatement. Unfairness can be due to sex, race, or constructive dismissal( i.e you resign following bullying).

If you are wronfully dismissed (i.e they just get the procedures wrong) you can only get money
