Re: unjustified job termination

It is not legal for an employer not to pay employees for hours that they did not work. It is also generally not legal for employers not to pay their employees minimum wage, but I cannot tell from your posting whether this occurred. I also cannot tell from your posting whether there is anything that you can do about your termination. If you would like to discuss this situation, please give me a call. I am a labor and employment attorney in Austin, Texas.
