My son was terminated because they said he had been clocking in 2 to 5 minutes early before his shift started. This was only a tactic because the real reason they fired him was because they were not willing to work around his Marching Band Schedule. The manager informed him of this after he had him sign a form under distress and then told him the real reason why. My son has been working there since he was sixteen years old. He just turned 17.

There are many nights I pick him up after 10 p.m. and ther was even incidents at 11:50 p.m. Do I have any rights. He has been transporting stock on the service elevator when it clearly states you have to be 18 to ride the service elevator. When he question the manager, he told him not worry about it.

Thanks

So, what's the question? Do you have any rights regarding what?

Georgia is an at will state. This means that your son could have been fired at any time without reason or warning. He could also have quit without reason or warning.

I don't know what rights you are looking for, but you don't have any unless your son was fired for being part of a protected group. Band geek (sorry, I was one myself and couldn't resist) is not a protected group. Neither is having an extracurricular activity that makes it difficult to schedule.

Well, it's Florida, but it's also a duplicate post.

Oops... good catch...

I read that wrong.

Good news is that it doesn't change anything.
