I feel I was wrongfully terminated. Do I have any rights based on my situation?
I received a review three week earlier and it stated that I was doing a good job. I found some things going on that were questionable in being illegal. I brought it to there attention on friday and was terminated on Friday. He stated the reason was for work performance.

You may have a case here. I don't practice in your state, but my research suggests that Indiana does have a "Whistle Blower" law, although it's not considered one of the stronger ones compared to other states.
The "work performance" excuse won't do much good for your employer, I'd think, if you have a copy of that review.
The only way to get reliable advice about this is to have a lawyer in your area review all the facts. I'd do it as soon as possible. One place you can look for a qualified attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com
