FAQ

At will employment This means that an employer or employee can end the employment at any time, for any reason. However, the reason for termination cannot be illegal. This includes: Discrimination based on race, sex, age (40 and over), nation of origin, disability, or genetic information.

THIS HANDBOOK IS NOT A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. Employment at __________________ (the Company) is at–will, meaning that either you or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without advance notice.

California's Labor Code contains the following provision on at-will employment: “An employment, having no specified term, may be terminated at the will of either party on notice to the other.

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.”

Here is a sample clause: Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by providing thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party. Upon termination, neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except for obligations that expressly survive termination."

At-will employment simply means that the relationship between employer and employee can be terminated at any time, by either party, for any reason. An employer can fire an employee without giving a reason and, likewise, the employee can quit for any reason or no reason at all.

Prospective employees are similarly drawn to this arrangement as it provides flexibility to quit at any time for any reason. For example, an employee who is unhappy at work or has been offered a better job can simply quit — no questions asked.

Examples include: If an employee refuses to commit perjury at a trial on behalf of an employer and as a result their position is terminated. Reporting an employer's violation of the law. Joining the National Guard or performing jury duty. Filing a claim under the state workers' compensation law.

There are five main exceptions to at-will employment in California: public policy, implied contracts, discrimination and/or retaliation, and fraud and/or misrepresentation.
