Is my employer required to notify me in advance of my firing?
No, unless:
--there is a written or oral or implied employment agreement or specific state law that requires advance notice of employment termination;
--you're a member of a union or you're a government employee which requires that advance notice be provided prior to employment termination
--there is a mass layoff (reduction of at least 33% of the workforce of 150 employees or more, or at least 500 employees in a workforce of any size) which requires 60 days notice to employees, unions and government officials
