If they don ' t then Bernard should have ' caught on ' to his situation rather quickly I would think . <| sep |> Hold on . I haven ' t been skating for a while now , but preparing to get back inThose who could afford it were proudly skating Blind skateboards 18 years ago , and tensor was THE truck brand like 15 years ago . Lightweight and indestrucrible . What happened to that ? <| sep |> It ' s illegal to pay someone for hours worked so long as they were present . If you fire someone and tell them to leave , it takes them off the clock . In the situation of this video , unless they fire them midshift and tell them to leave , yeah , they got paid . But , that ' d require a supervisor or higher up to be there , care , and perform that termination . The only repercussion is if you use them as a reference , and even then HR of big companies will never allow anything shitty to be said about even the worst of employees for legal reasons . Most places will stop at confirming they were in fact employed there . There ' s a reason a lot of companies terminate only on specific days , at the end of the day , with some going further with security escorts out andor having their stuff boxed up for them . They don ' t really have recourse if the employee doesn ' t do something criminal .
