What is a state with “At-Will” employment?

What is the definition of an At-Will State?

Even though each US state has its own employment laws, employment is generally considered to be at-will. This term refers to the ability of an employer to terminate an employee at any time and for any reason, provided it is not discriminatory, retaliatory, or otherwise illegal. Typically, employers do not have to demonstrate “just cause,” although certain states may have exceptions to this rule.

A state with “At-Will” employment is one where employers have the authority to fire employees for any reason, at any time, as long as it is not based on discriminatory factors like race, religion, or gender.

In the state of Florida, employers have the lawful authority to dismiss workers who hold an “at-will” status without cause or justification at any moment.
