Preferred term
employment-at-will doctrine
Definition
- The employment-at-will doctrine governs employment contracts of an unspecified duration. The doctrine's classic formulation holds that absent a clear intention to contract for a term or other employment protections, the employee-employer relationship can be severed for any reason.
