What it is
The state law that covers a remote termination depends on where you worked, where the employer is, and the contract language. Wage claims, payout rules, and unemployment filing follow the work location in most states, and several states reach remote employees for wage claims.
What to do about it: Keep proof of the work location: home-office stipend, the remote approval email, and the address on payroll. The jurisdiction argument is built on location facts, not on job title.
