Re: wrongful termination

This is an at-will employment state, and the employer can fire you at any time. Employer does not owe you for the two weeks. Consider yourself fortunate, if you are fired you can apply for unemployment benefits.

Re: wrongful termination

Indiana is an employment at will state. Unless you have a written contract specifying the conditions of termination or are part of a union, the employer can terminate you for any reason that is not discriminatory or in violation of public policy. Severence pay is not required.
