Being an “at-will” employer and employee means no formal contract exists detailing the length of employment. But, at-will doesn’t mean there are no restrictions. In reality, management will have a difficult time defending terminating someone without cause and appropriate documentation. On the other hand, there are times in organizations when there are misunderstandings between employees, and other performance-related issues. So, how do you balance the law with your employment policies and practices? If you need to downsize, how do you communicate to employees and provide adequate severance packages?
