Part II: Employment at will is basically where the employer or worker could end employment at anytime for any reason. The book brought up many court cases that have greatly impacted employer and employee rights, especially my rights as a women. For example West coast hotel v. Parrish. This made sure women got paid the minimum wage at that time. Even in socitey today, we hear about the unequal pay between men and women. Common wealth v. Hunt considered the right that labor unions do exist. Being a Federal technican, we do belong to a union. We have a right to speak to a representive that will educate and remind us of our rights and also provide representation for us during a meeting between HRO and our employers.

Employment-at-will, is when the employer and employee can terminate the relationship at any time and for any legal reason or no reason at all, as stated by our text. An exception to this policy is the public policy exception, this policy states that an employee being terminated is illegal if there is a mandate of law damaged. The example the book gave was that if someone has jury duty and they are fired due to this fact, the terminated is a wrongful discharge and is illegal.
