EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Ray, Valdez, McChristian & Jeans, P.C.
Summary
- Without a contract for a term, persons are employed at will. Either the employee or the employer can end the relationship without cause.
- Handbooks and policy statements are not contracts. However, cautious employers incorporate disclaimers and employment-at-will language.
- Statements of managers and supervisors can be binding on employers.
