Someone I know was fired on Saturday, 9/29, from his hourly job. He was eligible to start receiving benefits (after the six month waiting period) on 10/1. We live in a at-will state and I know you can be fired or quit for most any reason. I'm not wondering about the reason he was fired--I am wondering about the timing of it. It seems to me that the company conveniently got rid of him right before he became benefit-eligible as a cost-saving measure, and I am curious if this is in any way unlawful? We are in Georgia.

My employment agreement specifies a mutual notice-giving of 30 days between myself and an employer should either of us wish me to move on, but Virginia is an at-will state. How enforceable is the agreement from either direction? I fear that my employer is putting me at a disadvantage with respect to my moving on (It's hard to find potential future employers who will accept 30 days' delay on the start date) that it might end up they won't be held accountable to if they should decide to give me the air. How do I find out if this agreement is at all enforceable? [more inside]
