Does an employor have to notify you that you are fired?

I got fired for damaging company car but I got fired 11 days after the incident and after collecting 2 paychecks. In addition my employer never called me. He told me last Friday that he would call on Sunday to let me know what time I come in Monday (which he normally does). However, he never called me. I called on Monday evening to ask him straight up and after dodging he finally gave me an affirmative. Can you employee fire you by just never calling you?
