Question On Wrongful Termination

I'm a consultant and my company got a little upset that I left the country between projects even though it's not like I could continue to pay $130 a night to stay in the hotel and not have the rental car. They're stupid. Anyway, I'm wondering if there's anything I should know about the termination laws in Georgia and if there's a document that might supercede the employment contract I received from my employer.
Basically the contract I have says they have to give me 30 days notice but they're saying I wasn't allowed to leave the country so they're not going to pay me jack. There's nothing in the contract about staying in the country, they just have no idea what they're doing. Anyone know of any documents? I looked at Google and The Georgia Department Of Labor doesn't offer much information on termination rights.

I know Georgia recognizes "At Will" employment but I think that only refers to employees without a contract.

Re: Question On Wrongful Termination

Ya, maybe I ask for too much? First they told me the market was bad. Then they told me it was because I left the country. But something weird is definitely going on here......you guys got a few minutes to do some sleuthing? Their website is www.systelinc.com and with very little hard work I found that www.systel.com and www.systel.net are (what seem to be) 2 other companies named Systel Inc. but are completely unrelated to the Systel Inc. I worked for. Now I know my company was shady from some of the things I saw happen there, it was like Boiler Room. But all three of these Systel Inc. companies are headquartered in Atlanta but have different phone numbers and physical locations according to their websites. Can you guys find anything else? It seems an investigation would not be something they would welcome.

EDIT - OK, WTF? I look at the www.systelinc.com site and there is a page which says it was established in 1996 and at the bottom of every page says it's copyright 2006. It's out of date obviously, which is one sign of non maintenance of the site but that's fine. Then when I check out www.systel.com and www.systel.net, they say on the bottom they're copyright 1996-2006, lining them up directly with my company. This would imply they're probably all the same company, however I'm more inclined to imagine one is riding the other's good name in an attempt to confuse perspective clients. This is since both are in the consulting industry and have similar client bases. I knew none of this......and I would like to stress this is a personal thought of mine and not fact as I don't want to be accused of libel. You can think whatever you want.
And when I check the Whois records, the ones for the legitimate looking sites systel.com and systel.net are available. However the records for my company, systelinc.com, are masked by Domain Discreet, an anonymous option available from the registrar, register.com. What is there to hide?
