Can you have a job with no contract?

In some cases, yes--especially if you're not working under a contract. Without a formal contract, you're considered to be employed at will, which means that both you and your employer have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time.

Is it normal to get fired without warning?

Firing without warning is considered a best business practice in a lot of companies if no contract is involved. They don't need a reason either. So if a boss gets even slightly irritated, they can and will fire someone. Perfectly normal and expected.

Yes, New Jersey is an at-will employment state, which means that, absent an employment contract providing otherwise, employers can terminate employees without prior notice and for any reason, as long as it is not illegal. Similarly, employees can leave their jobs at any time without providing a reason.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will confer upon the Optionee any right to be employed or remain employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, or limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Optionee.

Employers are not required to provide warnings or reasons for termination unless stipulated in an employment contract or company policy. However, terminations must not violate anti-discrimination laws or other legal protections.

As our New Jersey employment lawyers can explain to you, employment at will is the principle that you can be fired from your job for virtually any reason, or even for no reason at all. It is the default rule in most states, including both New Jersey and New York.

In the United States you do not need to have an employment contract. The regulatory protections you as labor enjoy are not dependent on you having a written contract.

If there is no written record of the terms of the employment, it makes it harder to prove the existence of certain terms if action is taken against the employer. The lack of a contract can also prevent the employment relationship being legally binding between both the employer and the employee.

If you don't have an employment contract when starting a new job, it is important to ask for one as soon as possible. If your employer refuses to provide one or does not respond to your request, then you must document any verbal agreements that were made regarding your job duties or working conditions.
