Description

In most instances, the employment contract will not state its expiration date. In such a case, the contract may be terminated at any time by either party. Ordinarily a contract of employment may be terminated in the same manner as any other contract. If it is to run for a definite period of time, the employer cannot terminate the contract at an earlier date without justification. If the employment contract does not have a definite duration, it is terminable at will. This is called employment at will. Under the employment at will doctrine, the employer has historically been allowed to terminate the contract at any time for any reason or for no reason. Arizona Employment At Will Policy is a legal doctrine that defines the relationship between employers and employees in the state of Arizona. It grants employers the right to terminate an employee without any specific reason, as long as it does not violate any federal or state laws. This policy provides flexibility to both parties, allowing employers to dismiss employees without cause, and employees to leave their jobs without giving any notice. Under the Arizona Employment At Will Policy, employers have the right to discharge an employee at any time, with or without prior notice. Similarly, employees have the right to resign from their positions without any reason or prior notice. This policy applies to both private and public sector employees in Arizona, except for certain exceptions that may be specified by statute or contract. However, it is important to note that the Arizona Employment At Will Policy does not give employers complete freedom to dismiss employees. Employers are prohibited from terminating employees for reasons that are considered unlawful or discriminatory under federal or state laws. Such reasons include, but are not limited to, discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. While the Arizona Employment At Will Policy generally allows for employment termination without cause, there are certain exceptions that provide employees with some protection. These exceptions include implied contracts, covenant of good faith and fair dealing, public policy exceptions, and statutory protections. Implied contracts may be formed when an employer provides assurances, either orally or in writing, that an employee will only be terminated for cause. In such cases, employers may be required to show just cause for termination. The covenant of good faith and fair dealing exception implies that employers cannot terminate employees for dishonest, unethical, or malicious reasons. This exception ensures that employers act in good faith when exercising their right to terminate an employee. Public policy exceptions protect employees from being dismissed for reasons that violate public policies or statutory rights. For instance, an employee cannot be terminated for refusing to engage in illegal activities or for reporting workplace safety violations. Arizona also provides statutory protections for some employees, such as those covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or state-specific laws such as the Arizona Civil Rights Act. In summary, the Arizona Employment At Will Policy allows employers to terminate employees at any time, with or without cause, as long as it does not violate federal or state laws related to discrimination or other protected rights. However, there are exceptions to this policy, including implied contracts, the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, public policy exceptions, and statutory protections. Employers and employees should familiarize themselves with these exceptions to understand their rights and responsibilities in the workplace.
