Fired for no rational reason after 6 months of employment?

I've worked at a popular nightclub as a cocktail/bottle server for almost 6 months. I was let go on Friday night. It appears for an error made at the end of the night with the closing media. It didn't involve any losses. It was relative to receipts that are optional. I was not given reason for termination and refused an answer when I asked.

They have five days to put it in writing in NY state. After that period, what can I do if it isn't?

I did everything the way I've been doing it the entire time I started working there.

New York is an "at will" state.

Employment at will is a legal concept referred to as the Doctrine of Employment at Will. It essentially means that, in the absence of employment contracts that indicate otherwise, employers generally may fire employees for any reasons, no reasons and even unfair reasons, as long as they are not illegal reasons.

they dont have to give you a reason to fire you.
all they have to do is notify NY state that you are no longer working for them, and they dont have to give a reason to them either.

Generally, they can fire you for no reason at all. Putting it in writing is to help the state figure out whether you qualify for unemployment benefits.

File your claim.
