New York State is an “Employment-at-Will” state. That means that an Employer may terminate an Employee at any time and for any legal reason or no reason at all. Likewise, an Employee may terminate his or her employment at any time.
At-will employment also permits employees the right to quit anytime for any reason. As a result, you don't have to provide an employer with advance notice of your resignation; this is simply a courtesy and not a legal obligation.
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.
Notify any employee terminated from employment, in writing, of the exact date of such termination as well as the exact date of cancellation of employee benefits connected with such termination. In no case shall notice of such termination be provided more than five working days after the date of such termination.
New York observes “at-will” employment laws, meaning an employer can terminate a worker at any time for any reason or without reason. This works both ways, as employees can also quit their jobs without cause or notice.
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.
Can you fire an employee without due cause? Yes. New York is an 'at-will' employment State.
