At-will employment
An employment relationship where either the employer or employee can end employment at any time for any lawful reason, except where limited by specific legal or contractual exceptions.
"I need to know when a hire can be let go quickly — and when I can't."
At-will employment means termination can occur by either party at any time for almost any reason or no reason, but this general freedom is constrained by exceptions like discrimination law, public policy, implied contracts, and collective bargaining agreements.
