Employment Lawyer Steve Cahn, of New Jersey, explains what it means to be an At-Will Employee, and that At Will Employees can be fired for any reason or for no reason, as long as they are not fired for an illegal reason. It is illegal for an employer to terminate At Will Employees for Age Discrimination, Gender Discrimination, or Race Discrimination. Other than protection from unlawful termination, an At Will Employee has very little job protection, though an Employment Law Firm can evaluate a claim that an employer fired an employee due to Workplace Discrimination or Employment Discrimination.
