The following is not meant to be legal advice.

 

 

On December 13, 2007, Perkins Coie, LLP gave a talk on at will employment.  In California, at will employment allows an employer to terminate an employee at any time if there is a legitimate business reason.

 

 

A company should not alter the at will status of someone.  An at will status is altered when a person is given time to achieve milestones and then the employment is determined after the time period.  By setting milestones, the employer alters the ability to terminate at anytime. 

 

If someone is terminated, the employer needs to pay the person up to the day the person is terminated.  This means the employer should have a check ready to give to the person on the last day.  Otherwise,  the employer will need to pay the employee up to the time the person gets his/her last check. 

 

 

The employer does not need to have a check ready when someone quits on the spot because there is no notice. 

 

 

Releases in California require a section 1542 disclosure.  Severance is not required, but usually done for founders to prevent uncleanliness in financings.
