A lot of people are losing their jobs recently, and a number of them have been unlawfully terminated (which does not entitle them to receive any benefits). so to empower all of you out there here are the basic conditions that can get you fired:
- intentionally disobeying any order/s of a superior that are not in violation of any law
- committing a crime against your employer
- committing fraud or any sort of violation of trust between you and your employer.
- serious neglect of your duties
- violating the rules as defined by your company handbook.
You should consult your company handbook for other offenses that can result in your termination. If you do not fit any of the criteria, then you have the right to question the basis of your termination.

There are specific standards set by the Department of Labor regarding wages and work hours that have to be adhered to by employers. Though they may vary from state to state, they follow these rules and regulations to ensure employees work only the maximum allowed per day and that they get paid the proper rate per hour based on their industry of employment. There are however exemptions form the set minimum wage rates specified for people who may have different pay rates such as executives and other employees who may have more than the set minimum wage. Fair pay is the aim of the laws contained within the Department of Labor’s FairPay provisions.Overtime pay is given to all employees who go over the prescribed 40 hour workweek as declared by law set at 1/2 regular pay. The exemption from munimum wage has no effect on employees who may be earning more than $455 or more. It also has no bearing whatsoever to the rank of the employee or level within the organization.
