Don't I have a right to know why I was fired?
Don't I have a right to know why I was let go? Something isn't right and even the Unemployment Agency who investigates claims for benefits said they weren't clear on why I was let go.
It sounds like I need to contact a lawyer, or get a letter at least explaining to me why I was fired right?
Answer:
it does sound like you should contact a lawer. good luck.
Depends on which state you are in. Some of them don't have to give a reason for firing you.

Yes Most Definitely, And If They Are Smart They'd Give It To You And A Good One, Otherwise They Know they Could End Up In Court.

Actually, if they fired you in the first 90 days of your employment, they can do it for any reason they want AND they don't have to tell you why.
Get an attorney to help you get to the bottom of this. You may have grounds to sue for wrongful firing.
contact the lawyer it might have been a mistake
You legally have a right to know. I'd contact a lawyer for free advice and also threaten the company with the fact that you've contacted a lawyer, maybe they'll let something out.
to be frnak and try to get as many things as possible and make ur dream to achieve and to tell all the require fields in many situations,in an prescribed order for so many things.
by law they cannot fire you with out an explanation. just show up to work tomorrow!
In my state they don't have to give a reason -- however I think this is morally unconscionable.
Of course you have the right to know why you were fired.
But make sure it's "fired" and not "laid off".
You should document everything you've done to date in trying to find out why you were let go. Show up for work and demand an answer. If that fails, it's off to the lawyers and a nice "constructive dismissal" suit will follow!
You can go the lawyer route but if state employment office cannot get a firm answer you will likely get the maximum benefits.
If so, good for you. Good luck, either way.
You absolutely have a right to know, because when you apply for Unemployment benefits they need to know, ya heard me.
You should of had to sign a termination slip (most companies require it). It will state why you were terminated, a date of termination, your signature and your supervisors signature. Thats how it works at my company
Well, technically any company has the explicit right to let you go for no reason whatsoever. But when they gave you your pink slip, they should have listed something on there.?!? Have other people been let go? Maybe they're cutting costs.
Of course you have a right.Contact a lawyer straight away before your ex-employers have time to find some feeble excuse.Good luck
Yes It sounds as if you may just be able to retire after they settle the suit out of court. Watch out that your lawyer is not the one retiring. Don't agree to give him/her more than 25% of your settlement.
I am on your side on this.if your former employer lets you go usually they sit you down and tell you they're going to let you go.and if the unemployment office doesn't know why as well then you need to do what you got to do to find out. It seems to me that they are hiding something from you and that's not fair especially if they are abiding by the Equal Opportunity Employer Act. If you find out they let you go for no good reason sue them for it.it's not fair that you work so hard and get let go for some reason they can't even tell you about.Maybe look up your county or state codes and there might even be something in there about employees and employers and how they should handle certain things and the laws and stuff.

It depends on where you live. In Texas, for example, they can fire you without a reason, whereas laws are much more specific in states like California.
Ask your unemployment agency about the law in your area before spending a lot of money on a lawyer.
It's true, you should know why you were fired (to insure that you don't make the same mistake on another job, if not for anything else).
ye u r rite its better to contact a lawyer..best of luck
Depends on if the state you work in is an "At Will" state. At will employment means that the employment contract can be terminated with our without cause at any time by either the employee or the employer.
I would think that if the employer didn't give a reason that you would be eligible for benefits. The employer has to prove that you harmed the business in some way for unemployment to be denied and since they did not give a reason; clearly you are eligible for unemployment. Unemployment can be denied if they have cause; by law you then have to know what that cause or last incident was.
Good luck.
yes, they should tell you
Unless you have an employment contract or have some other guarantee of employment or code of conduct that outlines what you can and cannot be fired for, they really do not have to give you a reason.
There are reasons that you cannot be solely be fired for (age, sexual orientation, etc) but other than that, you are employed at will.
You can hire an attorney to make an inquiry, but the company is under no obligation to satisfy your demand.
As with anything you do have the right to know. What state do you live in? Almost two years ago I was fired from a job I loved very much shortly after telling my boss that I was pregnant. I consulted an attonrney and had a claim we are still tying to get a settlement from them. You can go to google and type in knowing your rights as an employee and there is a whole list of sites to go to. Just look for one in your state and that should be able to help you. I am very sorry to hear that you lost your job and hope that I have been some help.
Unless you are in a Union they can hire, fire at their whim no questions asked, no reason needed.
I don't know exactly if you have to be given a reason to be fired, but I would continue to look into it especially if you have an uneasy feeling. You can consult a lawyer (usually for free on the first visit) to have him explain your legal rights. It definitely can't be for certain reasons (age, etc.) But I would in the meantime, file for unemployment, that way your former employer has to pay something for letting you go.
