Legal Question in Business Law in Maryland

verbal warnings, written warnings and termination

I received a verbal warning by the program director (who was yelling at the top of her lungs) of a human services organization due to 2 client's services exceeding the individualized budget. I was told that I could have time to resolved the issues and I did. During the time I was trying to clean up this mess (which was about 3 weeks) I received a 3rd and final warning/termination. What is Maryland employment law pertaining to the proper procedures for termination, did I have to the right to receive a written warning before termination?

Re: verbal warnings, written warnings and termination

Unless you have a written employment agreement or there is an employee manual applicable to you that contains provisions regarding your rights in this area, the employer has the right to terminate you at any time without notice, and for virtually any reason (other than a civil rights violation).
