Can I get my job back or am I entitled my annual and sick leave pay?

I recently fired from Fl Dept of Corrections for Violation of Agency Policy during my probationary period but they wouldn't tell me what it was. I was actually fire from he say she say. There was no investigation or anything. I just got terminated. I was wondering would I have a case to get my job back? If not, is the department entitled to give me my back pay the owe me from annual and sick leave pay?

Probably not. If you were fired during an established 90-day probationary period, then there is likely nothing you can do to appeal the termination, or to claim any accrued PTO. However, I'm not familiar with the specific policies of the DOC re terminations during probationary periods, so you should at least contact their HR office for a clarification on the PTO issue.
