That doesn't really matter. If the you can prove the company fired you for some reason that is illegal, like racism or whistleblowing, you can still win damages

If your payroll damages are low and your case is solid, you might find a bleeding-heart lawyer to help you because attorney's fees are often included in the employee's damage award. Though, in some states punitive damages may be available as well. (Sadly, not in Washington State where I used to practice)
