I was fired for not meeting 90 day probation period but i had been ther for more then 90 days, is that something i can sue the company for?

So i was ther for more then 90 days and then got fired and the reason they gave me was that i didnt meet ther probation period requirments. I was already getting p.t.o. wich i dont even think i got paid for is that illegal?

In the context of at-will employment period, probationary periods have no legal significance, and an employee can be terminated for any reason, fair or unfair, or no reason, except for when there is specific evidence that the true reason for termination is illegal - i.e. due to age, race, disability, sexual orientation, etc...
Otherwise, whether you were terminated before or after 90 days does not make a legal difference, whether the employer called it one thing or the other.

Thanks,
