<prompt> Human: So my friend works at a massage spa chain as a massage therapist. He put in his two weeks so he can put in more time at his other job a different spa. He had clients on the books these two weeks but the owner said she moved them all to different therapists and that he doesnt need to come in again. He thinks theyre doing this so he doesnt have a chance to tell those clients that hes going to a different spa. Reddit, any advice?Assistant: He should start at his new job. Nothing he can do. Human: But they had already agreed to the two weeks. So unless theyre firing him in which case they would have to give him a payout is what theyre doing actually legal?  <response>: Payout for what?Is he a contractor or an employee of the spa?If hes an employee then they absolutely can just fire him if its an at-will state.
