Hello, is it illegal for my former employer to fire me while off the clock?

More details to this question:
I was punched out at the time of firing I have a witness statement also. I went to adjudication already to fight this and they still denied me. I didn't mention this issue but It is on record that I mentioned I was off the clock at the time and I believe until I have proof of this they will not recognize this

In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, an employee may be terminated at any time for any reason or no reason at all. No law required you to be "on the clock" unless you are performing services for your employer. Receiving your employer's termination notice doesn't constitute such services.
