Answers:
No your employer has every right to let you go.
if you work there less than 3 months, they do not need a reason to fire you.
Sorry you dont have a case
Find out how long your probation was...if you were still on probation then they can release you for no reason at all.
no contract?
Then you can be terminated at will.
They can say: "Sorry I think we found someone better. Bye."
Part timers are rarely protected by any contract, so you probably have no case.
too bad, so sad, no lawsuit for you.
Call the corporate office and see if they can put you in a different store.
unfortunately that's not "wrongful termination" usually when you start a job give or take 3 to 6th months of probation and during that period they can cut you loose any time for any reasons.
So in this case your not "wrongful termination" but rather " disliked & terminated" by individual with attitude problem or just don't like you for some reason or you make a move on the waitress that happen to be his lover or some thing you know.
So you have not thing to loose ...just go by restaurant and ask him directly "hey what the deal why you cut me loose without a reason " ask the guy/gal who ever ...don't be afraid ...stand up for your right ...
Highly unlikely that you would be able to collect any compensation for wrongful termination. Even if you had an employment contract, most have "at will" clauses that protect the employer and make it clear that you can be released at any time and that there is no guarantee of continued work. Particularly that you were a part time employee who worked for 'about two months'. Most companies have a 90 day 'probation' period where you can be released at any time with no explanation necessary. There may have been many reasons why they did not want your employ, but they just didn't want to 'get into' explaining them to you. And, under the circumstances you've stated, it would be very unlikely that they would be required to.
You can check with your local EEOC office or State Humans Rights as you don't give much detail.
Generally, your an"at will" employee in most States, and without a writen agreement between you and your employer, it's really the employers business and he or she can at will hire or fire people.
Just cover the base with a pro if you feel you were discriminated against based on race, religion, etc.
Get another job and move on. It's really a lot better for you to brush the dust of the place off and look forward to a better experience in the future.
Every state has different laws conserning employment. If you were not a member of a union which had a contract covering the terms of discharge, employment, hours and wages, then most states consider your employment with your employer (at will ) which uaually means since you can leave (quit) anytime you want then your employer has the right to discharge you whenever they want. You can contact your state's department of labor , or contact the E.E.O.C. with your issue. You can find both in your phone book.
You got canned! Deal with it, learn from it and do a better job at your next job.
Stop trying to get a free ride! Suck it up and move on, learn to make yourself valuable to your next employer and you won't get canned!
Remember this little piece of advice about employers..If you are making money for the boss, he WON"T let you go! Thats what jobs all boil down to. If the boss is making money on your work, he'll put up with alot just to keep you. But if you're just breaking even for the boss, or worse, costing him money.you're history pal
Wrongful Termination is a status of law whereby you cannot be fired for any Protected status such as age, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, etc.
Your situation has nothing whatsoever to do with how long you were there or filing a complaint with the EEOC. If you did not have a valid contract which stipulates under what conditions you could be fired, you simply have no case.
Also, if your employer has less than 15 employees within a 50 mile radius, they are not even subject to the above Wrongful Termination Federal regulations and can fire you because of ANY reason.
Their within their 3 month probation period, where they can fire you right on the spot,with no explanation legally.
