Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Could you please tell me where this happened? The labor laws vary by location.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In Indiana:
- Employers can terminate an employee without reason (at-will employment).
- You should be paid for all hours worked.
If you haven't been paid, you can file a wage claim with the Indiana Department of Labor.

but i wasnt even fully employed i was just getting trained and i didnt fully understand the system, it wasnt fair.
I understand your frustration, ****. However, in Indiana, even training hours are considered work and should be paid. If you haven't been paid for your training, you can file a wage claim with the Indiana Department of Labor.
Is it enforceable even if i only worked * hours?
Yes, ****. In Indiana, all hours worked, including training hours, should be paid regardless of the total number of hours. You can enforce this by filing a wage claim with the Indiana Department of Labor.
I also got no break
Yes, ****. In Indiana, if you work * or more consecutive hours, you're entitled to a meal break. If you didn't receive one, you can include this in your wage claim with the Indiana Department of Labor.
Thank you
You're welcome, ****. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your wage claim.
