More details to this question:
Currently I am being considered for termination from my job for violation of company policy, but I was never giving an employee Hand Book upon working for this company and I never filled out or signed an application for this job. I only signed paper work to get on their pay roll. I want to know can they legally fire me if I was never educated on the rules of the company?

Unless you have a contract or union agreement, you can be fired for any reason, except discrimination of a protected class. The handbook is not an issue.
