You may have a claim for the 4-5 hours you worked but that is all. The Labor Board might be interested in the fact they showed you as terminated in the system. That smacks of fraudulent behavior.
My supervisor advised me that I would be fired if I didn't come into work on my scheduled off day. We are all "on call" but we are not paid to be on call.

Her boss (part owner/owners son) said I can only work the next week and then my employment with their company ends. Does that mean they laid me off? I know... Read more »
If you have your two weeks notice, you are not being laid off and you cannot draw unemployment. How the last two weeks are handled is solely within the discretion of the Employer.
Unless you can prove that your termination is retaliatory, Kentucky is an at will state which means an employer can fire you for any reason or no reason at all.
I am a receptionist for a privately owned dental office. I have been laid off for a couple weeks. The doctor has been going in by himself to treat emergencies only.

I was placed at MMI and was given permanent work restrictions. My department stated that could not accommodate my restrictions. I was later called by someone who stated that I needed to resign or file for LTD, which is also resigning. Is this wrongful termination?
Possibly. Many more facts are needed to make such a determination. Contact an experienced employment law attorney near you and let them review for you.
I believe that it is due to me being gay. Another employee was fired a day before me due to her dating an ex client. Can I sue them for wrongful termination.
Much more info is needed to properly answer this question. Consult a competent practitioner who can review the facts.

Yes, so long as everyone is aware that they are being recorded.
I was told this is due to CPS (dcbs) taking my kids years ago. My kids have since been adopted by my uncle and I'm pretty sure I never had charges pressed against me, I never hurt or neglected my kids.
It depends on the specific circumstances with regard to working with children but it should not preclude you from working in the medical field.
