Employment Law

Many states legislate into statute a legal concept know as “employment at will” to describe the basic employer/employee relationship. Essentially, this means either side may terminate the employment for any reason. However, a contract right or a property right may change the “employment at will” relationship into conditional employment, giving the the employee greater job security as long as the agreed rights and duties are being met. Each situation is different and requires a through legal analysis in the event of disputes over the nature of the established employer/employee relationship.
