Question: I'm a waitress and have been at my job for 11 months. If I put in a 2 wks. notice can they fire me after? I just want to know the legality behind the matter. I don't want to put in my 2 wks. notice and then they turn right around and fire me. Something seems really wrong with that. I need to know if this does happen what type of action can I take.

Answer: unless you have a contract it's most likely an 'at will' employment situation... unless you can proove it was racial or sexual discrimination there's not much you can do.
