Your employer is a licensed Enrolled Agent who owns and operates a tax preparation business as a sole proprietorship. You just received a summons to appear for jury duty service on April 12th. When you told your employer, she told you to "ditch out" on that appearance. If you feel "all sinister and unethical," she said, just contact the court after busy season's over. We're way too behind on client tax returns for you to take off on me."
Despite your employer's instructions, you went to appear for jury service. When you arrived for work the next day, you were immediately fired. You did not have a written employment contract. Do you have legal grounds for getting your job back?
