Definition of at-will employment. At-will employment means an employer can fire an employee at any time for almost any reason without incurring legal liability.
Example of an At-Will Employment Clause Here's one we've put together for you: “Your employment with employer name is at-will. This means your employment is for an indefinite period of time and it is subject to termination by you or employer name, with or without cause, with or without notice, and at any time.”
In summary, at-will employment gives both parties (employer and employee) flexibility in ending the employment relationship, while for-cause employment requires a specific reason or cause for termination.
Your employment with the University is on an “at-will” basis. This means your employment may be terminated at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause. Likewise, we respect your right to leave the University at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause.
This means that employment relationships exist at the will of both employees and employers. Both parties have the right to end a working relationship at any time for almost any reason or no reason at all, and there is no legal requirement to provide advance notice.
Final answer: The true statement about at-will employment is that both the employer and the employee can terminate the employment for any reason that is not illegal. This means either party can end the employment relationship without cause unless it is for a discriminatory or otherwise illegal reason.
Most states allow at-will employment. The only state that isn't an at-will state is Montana. Although 49 out of 50 states allow at-will employment, there are still many thriving unions, and many employers offer their top talent contracted positions.
