Legal Question in Business Law in Indiana

My employer tried to fire me without considering the terms of my contract.

As stated in Section X of my contract:

DURATION

Either party may cancel this contract on 14 days� written notice; otherwise, the contract shall remain in force for a term of 1 year [specify period of months or years, or as the case may be] from date and may be extended or adjusted in accordance with Section VII of this contract.

Not only was I not provided with two weeks written notification regarding termination of this contract, I also received very mixed and contradicting phone calls and emails in reference to my role within the company. Consequently, I expect a written and clear explanation for why I have been terminated, signed by both parties, providing concrete evidence for cause of my termination including any documentation of previously bringing concerns or issues to my attention. I expect to at minimum, to be paid the two weeks notice ($1,538.46) that was not provided.

Do I have a legitimate claim?

Your situation is unclear because you haven't provided all of the facts. You say that your employer tried to fire you but you didn't say whether he actually did fire you. Be that as it may, an employer may fire an employee for certain grounds which have nothing to do with termination of the contract. Therefore, it's hard to say, without complete information, whether you have a claim or not.
