Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I was hired in the beginning of May at a county office as a part time employee. My start date was moved out to July 13. During my interview, I stated that I had a prior internship commitment as well as a school schedule that would affect my availability. I was terminated on my 3rd day of work because I was unable to work a 40 hour per week schedule. The supervisor stated that although I had told them of my availability issues and it was in the interview notes, I would not be a good fit for the position because all part time employees are working 40 hours per week. Is there anything I can do?

Unless you had a contract, you were an at will employee, meaning that your employer could terminate you without reason or for any reason at all. County employees are most likely covered by a union agreement, but because you were part time and only there for 3 days, you were most likely not covered by any collective bargaining agreement yet. You are entitled to payment for the days you worked, but probably nothing more.
