[headline]\u201cAt Will Employment\u201d[\/headline]
\nRefers to California\u2019s policy allowing both the employer and employee to walk away from the employment arrangement at any time so long as there has not been an agreement on the promised duration of employment. California Labor Code 2922 states:
\nAn employment, having no specified term, may be terminated at the will of either party on notice to the other. Employment for a specified term means an employment for a period greater than one month.<\/p>\n
This means that the employee has the right to quit whenever they choose. The employee does not have to give notice or warning. Nor do they have to give a reason, or if they do give a reason that reason can be as ridiculous as they want.<\/p>\n
Here is the catch\u2026<\/strong> The employer has the exact same rights. Yes, you read that correctly. In most situations, the employer does not have to give the employee notice or a warning. Nor do they have to give a reason or even a good reason. They can have the most ludicrous reason they want to terminate an employee.<\/p>\n There are typically only 2 instances when a wrongful termination can occur. One or both of the following must be present:
\n1. Discrimination
\n2. Retaliation<\/p>\n
