Employment Contracts
Employment contracts can be structured to provide greater employment security in the work place. Without a specific term on the length of the employment relationship in the employment contract, the employee will be designated as an "employee at will," with limited or no substantive legal rights. In contrast, if a "for cause" termination provision is inserted in the employment contract, the employee will have a much greater degree of protection, in the event of a wrongful discharge.
