Question<\/strong>: I\u2019ve heard of “employment at-will.” Can you tell me what it means, and is there any state in the U.S. that isn\u2019t an “at-will” state?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: “Employment at-will” means that the employer and employee can terminate the relationship at any time and for any reason as long as the reason isn\u2019t illegal.\u00a0Here are a couple of examples: (1) An employer cannot terminate an employee because of the person’s religion because it violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. (2) An employer could (theoretically) terminate an employee because the person wears yellow shirts and the boss doesn’t like that color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the U.S., 49 of the 50 states follow at-will employment laws, with the only exception being Montana, which typically only allows at-will terminations during the employee\u2019s initial six-to-twelve-month probationary period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
