What rights do I have as an employee not having received a notice of termination?

I was working as a Banquet Server at a golf course in New York State, though the primary headquarters for the corporation that oversees the golf course is in California. I was hired in April of 2009, and worked a total of three times between May 31, 2009 and June 5, 2009. I called my place of employment numerous times between June 9th, 2009, and July 4th, 2009 without any returned phone calls as to my schedule and paycheck. My father wound up calling on my behalf, since I was not receiving any acknowledgement for my phone calls, and he was told that he could pick up my paychecks since I was not in the area, as well as that he could speak to the manager (who he had spoken to via telephone) when he arrived. All managers and supervisors were absent, although my father was told to come in on a particular day. While he did pick up my past due checks, he did not get to speak to anyone as to an explanation of why my phone calls had not been returned or if I had/had not been terminated. I filed a complaint with New York State, and they reached the company that I had been employed by. Their reason for my termination was that I did not try to get in touch with them for my schedule, which is untrue (I left voicemails with my manager, as well as spoke to other staff via phone). It is now five months since I had been hired, and I still have not received a notice of termination. Since I had been told by my manager when I had been hired that my schedule might not be consistent due to the economy's current condition, and people not scheduling events as frequent as in the past, I did not seek out other employment, since I never knew when I would be due to work. I was also always notified the night before, whenever I was scheduled to work. What rights do I have as an employee that has not yet been officially notified of termination?
