Employment at-will
Employment at-will is the concept that an employer or employee may sever the
employment relationship at any given time for any reason unless prohibited by
law or an employment contract. There are a number of exceptions to
employment at-will, including public policy and implied contract. In most U.S.
states, filing for workers' compensation benefits falls into the public policy
exception category, which holds that employees cannot be fired for fulfilling legal
obligations or pursuing certain statutory rights.
