More details to this question:
HI , My previous employer called and said I could be out of status due to some dates issues on end of the employment from his side and start date from new company so wanted to ask regading the H1B rules
H-1B holders who are dismissed or leave their present employment are given 60 days to file further papers with USCIS to keep themselves in status. In your case, if your new employer filed for an H-1B transfer for you within 60 days of your leaving or being dismissed from the former company, you would be considered in status by the agency.
