Generally, NY is an "at will" employment state. That means, absent an employment contract, you are free to quit whenever you want, and your employer is free to fire you at any time and for any reason, except a legally prohibited reason (e.g., race, religion, ethnicity, etc.). If you do not have an employment contract, then you can be fired for not working the extra time.
