What Does Employment At Will Mean

As are many employees only after the fact, you might be surprised to learn in advance the U.S. employers may legally fire you for just about any reason or barely any reason at all.  That's partially because there are relatively few labor laws that protect workers from wrongful termination, and none that generally protect from workplace "unfairness" per se.  But it's more so because many states consider employment to be "at will" in legal jargon.

GOOD CAUSE

****************************************************

Good Cause: consists of a fair and honest reason,      regulated by good faith.  It does not involve reasons that are trivial or unrelated to business needs or goals.  Good cause to terminate an employee can exist even where the employee is well-qualified and hard-working.
Firing Employees With Employment Contracts

Employment contracts can limit your ability to fire employees.

If an employee has an employment contract -- whether written or oral, express or implied -- the contract may limit your ability to terminate the employee.  Usually, if an employment contract exists (which is not always easy to determine), you must treat the employee fairly and only fire him or her for "good cause."

Dismissing an Employee for a "Good and Sufficient Cause"

We often hear of cases of employees being dismissed from a hotel or other place of work.  The question we try to answer succinctly in this feature is:  what justifies the dismissal of an employee?  The conditions of Employment Regulations Act (enacted in 1952) states that an employer may dismiss an employee, and the employee may abandon service on his part if there is a "good and sufficient cause" (Section 34(14)).

Defining " Good Cause" in Employment Termination Situations

By
Ralph S. Curtis


Most employers reading this column will probably agree that the term "good cause" is an important term to understand, yet the meaning can be very elusive.

In employment situations, where there is a requirement that good cause exists before an employee can be terminated, failure to appreciate the meaning of the term can result in costly and unpleasant litigation.

The Mode Employment Termination Act: Goodbye to Employment At Will

By
Perry R. Safran

Historically, employers have had the right to fire employees at will, absent a fixed contract term.  "At will" means an employee can be fired for a good reason, for a bad reason, or for no reason at all - as long as the reason is not discriminatory.  (Federal and state statutes prohibit firing an employee due to religion, race, or gender.)  The variety of rules and reliance on myths of what is right and wrong regarding the termination of employees created a demand for uniformity by employers and employees alike.  The Uniform Law Commissioners (ULC) answered this demand with the Model Employment Termination Act (META).  The ULC is a group of legal scholars who draft medal legislation in an effort to maintain stability and uniformity in state law.
