摘要:Prior research has discussed the advantages the employment at will clause has on employees. However, less research has touched on the impact the Employment-at-will clause has had on employers. The research question being investigated is how does the at-will clause impact both employees and employers? This paper will review several articles that touch on the Employmentat- will clause by discussing the reasons employers may choose to terminate their employees. This paper will also discuss how race is related to termination, how employees respond to the termination decision, some situations that may call for dismissal of employment, and highlight important points made in some of the literature that was reviewed.
