Can an employer commit contractually to a multi-year employment agreement in CO, considering it's an At Will state?

Answered 8 years and 6 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
Yes.   At will simply means that an employee can be fired for any reason (other than for reasons prohibited by statute, such as race, religion, etc.) at any time UNLESS there is a contract which limits the employer's right to fire him/her.  A contract which, for example, provides that the employee will be employed for a term of five years and can only be terminated for cause as defined in the contract, would limit the employer's right to fire the employee.    ...

I was undercompensated by a company HQ in Atlanta, GA but I live in Colorado. Do I need a GA attorney?

Answered 8 years and 6 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer

At will employment contract

Answered 11 years and 9 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
"At will" means there is no obligation by the employer to keep employing the employee, nor any obligations by the employee to remain in the employer's employ.  If you are truly employed "at will", you can resign at any time.

What is 'good cause' to resign from a teaching position at semester?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
Presumably, you are quoting from your employment contract, because there is no general right to break a contract for "good cause".  If so, I would expect the term "good cause" to be defined in that agreement.

Can an buisness terminate an independant contractor for personal injury

Answered 13 years and 3 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
Yes. In the absence of an agreement specifying a duration to your hiring, the relationship is presumed to be "at will." That means either party may terminate it any time for any reason or no reason at all.

Am I considered an employee when I receive emails addressed to Employees Only?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
Unless you are accepting compensation from the "employer," you are not an employee. While there are complex, multipart tests that can sometimes be applied to recharacterize non-employees as employees, you can't pass those tests if you are actually employed by another employer from whom you receive a Form W-2....
