Can an employer sack you without going through the procedures of written warnings etc.?

apart from misconduct can u still be sacked

Answers:
no i dont think so
Yes in some states you can, it is call "at will" employment. My firm is that way, where you can be sacked (fired) or you can quit without warning.
yep they sure can if you live in a hire at will state. They can fire you for anything they want except race, sex, religion etc.
What state are you working in.

That is the deciding factor.

Different states, different laws.
Why do you presume that everyone lives in the same country you do? The answer is yes..or no..depending where you live.
Yes, they can. Unfortunely it depends what kind of employee handbook you signed. Review your handbook and see the what you signed. If that doesn't settle it, you might want to get a lawyer. But try and stay away from that. Lawyers are expensive and you have to pay them upfront and not in payments. I'm sure you can find a better job anyway. Don't stress about it. Good luck!
Depends on the state you live in, I think. Where I live it is hire and fire at the employers discretion. If there is documented discrimination then you have a snowballs chance in h**l of fighting it, but at least there is the chance. Otherwise they can fire you for no reason at all.
yes! for gross mis-conduct, sexual deviance,
thieving e.t.c
Unfortunately yes they can. Gross misconduct, eg theft, is usually instant dismissal. They can also sack you quite easily if you haven't completed 2 years service unless they are discriminating in some way then you may have a cause of action but the onus is on YOU to prove you have been discriminated against.
yep!! sorry mate I had that problem, They just told me I've had warnings before (which i didn't) and stuff like that its proper whack, but if an employer don't want you there they don't have to have you there! I can't really give you much information on this as to the problem you have said is not clear and thorough enough, but I'm sure it might not be worth fighting it!! Plenty of other jobs out there mate??!!
It depends what you have done. You mention misconduct - perhaps you mean GROSS misconduct. Without knowing more, it is difficult to say.

If you think you have been unfairly dismissed, try Citizens Advice Bureau for help and guidance. But, be sure you really have not done anything terribly wrong.

Are you sure you were sacked - as opposed to being made redundant - I know a lot of people use the term "sacked" for both cases.

And I guess your employer TOLD you why you were being SACKED?
yes if its for taking time of including sickness as the loop hole in the law stats that u can be sacked for not with holding contracted hours
That depends, do you work in a place that implements 'at will employment'? If you do (and you would have seen some paperwork about this when you were hired) then, yes they can. At will employment specifically states that the employer can terminate you at any time for any reason. Of course that also means that you can also quit at any time for any reason.
Yes, unless it was made explicit in a formal contract that they may not, they may can you when ever they see fit.
Yep just like you can wake up one morning and decide to never go back.. they can wake up one morning and decide they don't want you.. It's called being an "at will employer".. They can fire you or you can quit- at will..
