    you could in small claims court.


    if its not imparative that you get that money, like without it you cant make rent, or a car payment or something, its not worth the time spent trying to prove your case for such a small ammount. IMO.

    EDIT: wait i just re-read that, 200 for every 2 weeks? how many weeks were you not working? just 2 so you would only have made 200?

    It doesn't sound to me like you have a wrongful termination suit, but state laws vary.

    Even if you did have a rightful claim to wrongful termination, there's no way in hell a judge is going to award you 6 months of lost wages. You could've gotten a job somewhere else.

    By the way, why the fuck would you want to work there again anyway? You should have told them to piss off when they fired you, and never looked back.

    Call a lawyer and ask him...he won't charge you for a phone consultation....just be prepared and to the point when you talk to him...

    People have sued for ALOT stupider things and won. I'd imagine you could get some of it, maybe not all. How long can you get unemployment money for? Because that's how long the state thinks it should take you at most to find a new job making a semi-similar salary, so I would think however long that was, you should be able to get paid for. So if you can get unemployment for 6 months, I think you could win the wages you would have earned there for 6 months. Am I making any sense?

    Theres nothing you can do, you cannot prove that that 20$ was the replacement to the suspected money you stole. Also they don't even need a reason to fire you, they could have just said "theres the door"
