Legal Question in Employment Law in North Carolina
''Terminator''
I relocated to another city North Carolina and began working for a young lady as a Director for her Daycare Center, I specifically told her look ''I am from New York I will be leaving my job with the Board of Education, my home, and my childrens daycare so if you don't want to hire me let me know now'' she went on to say ''No I need you'' and for one week I worked for her returned to New York to get my children and my things only for her to call me and tell me that she can not afford me after I left my job and my home what can I do.

Re: ''Terminator''
It is possible that you have a breach of contract claim. In order to evaluate the case properly, I would need to know exactly what was said and by whom, and whether you have a written employment contract. Also, does the now-former employer have a manual or handbook?
There is also a contract theory known a promissory estoppel, in which a party is bound by the promises he or she makes where another party relies upon that promise to his or her detriment. It sounds like you fall within this definition, from the short facts you recite.
