Since the common-law doctrine of employment at will holds in the given scenario, Grace's employer can terminate her employment at any time for any reason as long as it is not discriminatory or contrary to public policy. In this case, Grace's employer is citing a specific reason for termination, which is her lack of punctuality. Therefore, Grace has to give in to her employer's demands and quit her job. The implied contract exception and public policy exception to employment at will do not apply in this scenario. There is no evidence to suggest that the employer is committing a federal crime in this scenario.
