On sunday i had to rush to hospital due to doing serious damage to my neck, i done this at 10:30am and was due in work at 12pm. I got fired later that night for being 'unreliable' is there anyway i could take him to court? And another thing, i know a lot about this guy i.e he's dodging taxes and doing things he shouldn't be doing? he also made a few comments about my breasts, but i don't have any physical proof & i also did not have a contract. Need advice please?
You can't really go back and say "Well he did this, and this and that, but I didn't say anything. But now I lost my job, I am saying something!".
Was this documented? Did you have other times you didn't show up for work? Did you call or have someone call and let your work know you were in the hospital?
If it is a right to work state and if the injury occurred outside of work, they certainly can fire you.
I'm going to take a wild guess and draw the conclusion that it wasn't the first time you didn't show up for work. Businesses do not fire their best and most reliable workers for a trip to the hospital. You get fired for a trip to the hospital if they are verging on getting rid of you anyway and just looking for a good reason.
Or maybe, you talked too much about suing them and word got back to management and you gave them a good reason to dump you. You are not loyal to them, so no reason for them to show any loyalty to you.
