At-Will Does Not Rule Out Wrongful Termination

At-Will Does Not Rule Out Wrongful Termination
2
There has been a lot of conversation around
employment. There are two sets of ideas
right-to-work and an at-will rule. Right-to-work
types are states who can let go of someone
regardless of giving them an explanation.
Typically states with this type of employment
outlook do not believe in having strong unions.
So, by implementing the right to work means that
employees do not have to pay into unions which in
turn weakens unions if they do not get new
members.

Moreover, this means fewer negotiations between
workers and employers and less protection for
employers. The right-to-work state may seem like
a harsh reality, but it is not far from the
at-will type. The at-will type of employment
outlook is what they follow in California.
4
California is an at-will employment state that
can exercise the same action of letting someone
go, but it is more protective than the
right-to-work states. It still recognizes unions
within the state, but companies have the right to
provide their employees with at-will employment
statements for their employees to sign. These
statements suggest to the employees that they can
be fired at any time, for any reason, without
prior notice, and without any cause. This lets
employees know that their employment is secured,
but only as much as the company can employ them.
5
The explanation of the at-will employment may
sound harsh. How can one feel secure or confident
in their job if they are told that they can be
fired at any time? Feel secure that you have
rights as an employee and your employer is just
aware as you are.
Your Employment Rights
However, the best way to deal with a wrongful
termination is to document, document, document.
Just as an employer is required to document any
evaluations, written warnings, or acts of
punishment, you should be documenting how your
job is treating you.

You should document when you are not feeling
treated correctly. You should document
conversations both verbal and via electronic
messaging. You should ask coworkers and past
employers their perspectives on situations that
may not feel right to you. You should document
conversations surrounding any kind of warning or
punishment. This is as much about your protection
as well as your employer doing their job. Those
who have been wrongful terminated can typically
call out discrimination of some kind, abuse of
power, or incorrect use of hiring and firing
procedure.
