Employment at Will (EAW) is a long-standing employment policy in the United States. EAW is a simple belief that employers are able to employ and dismiss any employee, for any reason (except protected classes), at any time without cause. At the same time, an employee may quit at any time, for any reason or no reason at all. At the end of an employment term, however it came to be, the employer and employee get a “clean break”, that is neither owes the other any duty solely based on employment and they are both free to continue about their way free of the other. The morality of EAW has been debated throughout its history and has been influenced by employers, the public, the courts, and ethicists.
