This area of law applies to terminations, constructive discharge, reductions in force and layoffs, as well as to demotions and denial of promotions in some states. Despite the rise of wrongful termination cases in recent years,
the basic law still is that most employees are ‘terminable
at will.’ An at-will employee can be terminated at any
time, for any reason, or no reason whatsoever.
