"at will" employment

0.02 sec.

"at will" employment n. a provision found in many employment contracts which suggest the employee works at the will of the employer, and which the employers insert in order to avoid claims of termination in breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or discrimination. Inclusion of such a term puts the burden on the discharged employee to show that he or she had reasons to believe the employment was permanent. The defense is stated simply, we could fire the employee at any time, no matter what the reasons. (See: wrongful termination)
