A: The at-will employment law of California means that all employees subject to this law have the right to terminate a working relationship at any time with or without notice to their employer. It also means an employer can use any legal reason to terminate an employee at any time.
While you might be able to quit at any time, California's labor laws do require you to give at least 72 hours' notice if you want your final paycheck at the time you leave. Employees who do not give three days' notice or more must wait three days for their employer to deliver or mail their paycheck.
In California, there is generally no requirement that you give your employer two weeks notice, or any notice for that matter, before quitting or terminating a job. Though employers who receive two weeks notice may be more likely to give you positive references in the future.
Although at-will employment is the norm in the state, there are exceptions where employers are legally obligated to provide notice or face penalties. For instance, if an employment contract explicitly outlines a notice period, the employer and the employee are bound by its terms.
Random drug testing is against the law in California. You cannot require your employees to take a random drug test, and you must give your employees notice before a drug test is given. There is one exception to this rule, as employees in public jobs may be required to take a drug test if public safety is a concern.
