    Are Your At-Will Employment Documents Worded Correctly?

    More and more private business owners are noticing the “at will” employment approach for their business. This type of employment means that an employer does not have to give any employee an advanced notice of termination of their job, nor does the employer have to justify to the employee why they are being relieved of their duties. This law upholds the fact that employers do not have to give a good reason for termination of the employee.

    “At Will” Employment and Written Contracts

    All employment is according to a contract for “at will” employment or collective bargaining agreements in a union atmosphere, which would provide a “good cause” for termination of an employee. Employers do not have to have written employee contracts, and all employment is considered “at will.”

    Employers prefer “at will” employment because of its relative ease in avoiding any litigation by the employee. Employers must frequently make business decisions regarding their employees. The “at will” relationship with employees allow employers the flexibility in their decision-making to the point that courts cannot second guess why the employer made a decision to terminate an employee, and fairness of that decision does not come into play.
