At-Will Employment
At-will employment refers to a relationship between an employer and employee where the employer can terminate the employee for any reason other than an illegal one. The termination can occur at any time, and the employer will not be held liable in a legal sense. At-will employment also allows employers to alter the terms of employment without facing consequences or having to give notice. Examples of shifts include work schedules, benefits, and wages. An employment contract may be used to adjust the at-will employment status.
Additionally, an employee may resign from their position at any time, whether or not they have a reason for doing so, when in an at-will employment situation.
