A term used to describe many employment relationships. In a nutshell, “at-will” means that an employee can be fired for any reason, or for no reason at all. However, even an at-will employee is entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws. If an employee is terminated in violation of anti-discrimination laws, he or she may be able to successfully bring an action against the former employer.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n
