What is employment-at-will? At-will employment is defined as
employment where an employer can terminate an employe at any time for
any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without fear or
incurring any liability. The same works for the employee. An employee
is free to end his/her employment for any reason without fear of
incurring any liability or adverse legal action. Also, under at-will
employment, an employer is free to change the terms of employment, such
as wages or job responsibilities, with no notice and no consequences.
At-will employment can be modified by an employment contract. A
contract may provide for a specific term of employment, or specify that
employment may be terminated only for cause.
Many
states also have common law exceptions to at-will employment. Those
exceptions include public policy, implied contract, and implied covenant
of good faith. However, these exceptions do not apply in Florida.
