Massachusetts, like the rest of the United States, follows the “employment-at-will” doctrine. This means that an employee is free to leave their employment at any time, without advance notice, and without having to give a reason for doing so. Conversely, an employer is free to terminate its employee for any reason, or no reason at all, so long as that reason is not illegal. While the foregoing is fairly well known, the myriad exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine and numerous legal protections an employee-at-will has are less well-known.
Attend this highly-focused program to learn about the various statutory, tort, and contract exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine. Hear in-depth discussions about state and federal anti-discrimination law and delve into the nuances of the public-policy exception to the employment-at-will doctrine. Get practical advice from plaintiff’s counsel—counter-balanced by management and in-house counsel perspectives. Learn about important exceptions that prohibit an employer from terminating an employee. If you are an employer contemplating terminating an employee, or in-house or outside counsel advising employees or management, this seminar is tailor-made for you. Bring your questions and join the dialogue online!
