At Will Employment Tricks


Almost all U.S. states are employment AT-Will. This means employers can usually fire employees for any reason, no reason, even an unfair reason, as long as the reason is not illegal. It's amazing how many times I've tried to get career seekers and employees to understand this. One of the biggest myths job seekers and employees must understand is there is no such thing as true "job security". The belief that good job performance and not being a "trouble maker" should "guarantee" ongoing stable employment.


Unfortunately, the truth has proven to be just the opposite. Terminating and violating the rights of employees is commonly place regardless of job performance. There are however different degrees attached to the employers right to fire you. As of this article Montana is the only state that is closest to being exempt from "At Will" doctrine. Your bosses ability to fire you at the "drop of a hat" is what gives At Will employment doctrine is power.


Unless you are a new employee working during a probationary period of six months, the Montana employer must have a good reason for firing you. There are however, three major exceptions to being fired "At Will". Depending on where in America you live any combination of three exceptions will apply with varying degrees. These exceptions are:

The public-policy exception


The Implied Contract Exception


The Covenant-of-Good-Faith Exception


An employee would be "exempt" from being fired under public policy if he/she was asked to violate the law, commit some crime or things like embezzle company funds.

With the implied contract exception employers have rules and policies that may guarantee employees not be fired for anything other than "just cause". This exception is recognized in 38 states.

The third exception, "covenant of good faith" is only recognized in 11 states. It basically suggests that employees should be treated with respect and not fired for arbitrary or reasons with hateful intent.


For job seekers and employees the following are a few "insider tips" that work in your favor to overcome the shadow of "At Will". The FIRST thing you should do as soon as possible....review your employee manual or handbook. The following is what you want to look for.

Any language that says something like...."an employee on probation can be fired with no notice". This "implies" employees that survive the probation are then considered permanent.

"Continued employment is mandatory for participation in stock option plans".

Look for anything that talks about an employee being terminated only for "just cause".

What about your job interview? Did the interviewer say anything such as...."You won't have any problems staying with the company as long as you do your job"?


Each one of these situations may be deemed an "Implied Contract" by the EEOC or a court if you are ever terminated.
