More simply, an employee can be fired for no reason at all, or for some reasons which may be considered unreasonable but are actually allowed under at-will employment.Īn employer terminating an employee for animosity, being late to work once, or just because they didn’t like the employee, may all be considered acceptable under at-will employment.
