FAQ

On-call laws in North Dakota require employers to compensate workers for being available to work on short notice. The regulations ensure that employees receive fair wages for the time they commit to being on-call, including when they are not actively working. For clarity on these obligations, you might want to review employment documents. If substance abuse issues arise affecting on-call work, a North Dakota termination letter - substance abuse can aid in outlining responsibilities and rights.

North Dakota is an employment-at-will state (ND Cent. Code Sec. 34-03-01). Therefore, an employer may generally terminate an employment relationship at any time and for any reason, unless an agreement or law provides otherwise.

North Dakota law generally requires an employer to pay covered employees overtime at a rate of one and one-half times the regular rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek. An employer must calculate overtime on a weekly basis regardless of the length of the pay period.

Similar to other states with such laws, North Dakota's right to work statute states that a person's right to secure employment should not be conditional on union membership (which already is enforced through federal labor law).

(It is good etiquette, although not legally required, for an employee to give two weeks' notice before leaving.) Unless there is an employment contract saying otherwise, North Dakota law considers all employment relationships to be at will.

It's normal (but not a legal requirement) to give two weeks of notice. However, a "reasonable" resignation period is based on several factors. These include the employee's position, length of service, pay, and time it would likely take to replace the employee.

If you've been in your job for less than a month, you don't have to give notice unless the contract or terms and conditions require you to. If you've been in your job for more than 1 month, you must give at least 1 week's notice. It's best to resign in writing, so there's no argument about when you did it.

It is therefore possible to dismiss even on a first offense and without any prior warnings having been issued, but that will depend on the severity of the offense, the circumstances under which it was committed, and the provisions of the employer's Disciplinary Code.

Wrongful Termination in North DakotaThe employee can sue for such things as lost pay, lost benefits, emotional and punitive damages, and attorney fees.

Under the employment-at-will doctrine, an employer can generally fire an employee for any reason or for no reason at all. However, employers cannot terminate employees for reasons that would violate federal, state, or local anti-discrimination laws.
