W2 help and also wrongful job termination
I am a 16 year old and know that it is illegal for your employer to not have
returned your W2’s by the end of January. it is now February 3rd and i have still
not received it? Also on my availability i request Tuesday’s and Friday’s off.
I was scheduled to work Friday this week and called in and requested it be
changed. New Link Destination
day being that Friday my friend whom also works there text me saying
if I do not come in I will be fired. I believe to my current knowledge that is
wrongful termination and I still need to obtain my W2 for taxes. Please and
Thanks -Nathan

Unless you have an employment contract or union agreement that provides otherwise, absent actionable discrimination, your company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit. This means that it can schedule workers as it deems necessary. Accordingly, if you fail to work your scheduled hours you can be terminated or otherwise suspended. As for providing a W-2, it must be provided to employees by Jan 31st. That basically means the employer can mail them on Jan 31st and meet the requirement otherwise they are subject to penalties for late filing.
