Do you need to give a warning before firing an employee in Massachusetts
I have a contract stating each party needs to give a 4 week notice. No problems were addressed, no warnings. I was discharged from my employer without any notice. Am I eligible to collect 4 weeks pay.

You need to bring your employment contract to a lawyer to read. It is hard to say from what you have asked if there may be other provisions that they are relying on and if they are not valid, what your rights and their duties are under the circumstances. There ma be a much bigger issue here that 4 weeks pay. You can look here at attorneypages.com for legal advice in your area.
