I was doing a fantastic job working in retail at the calender club. I made more sales than others, I approached the customers with a friendly attitude and helped them with anything they needed. While other employees sat behind the counter. I worked 27-29 hours a week and other employees had 12-17 hours a week because they had school during the day and other activities. Yesterday my boss Barbara approached me telling me that she will be taking over my hours because I was her temporary fill in while she took care of her grand children. She gave no warning that she would be firing me today, she never told me that I was a temporary replacement. I was told that I would be working full time until December (because it's a seasonal store). And she gave no actual reason to fire me other than her being selfish wanting to take over my hours. Is this legal?

They have the right to let you go but they owe you a severance package. I encourage you to call us to discuss the value of your entitlements and next steps.
