Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The employment-at-will doctrine states that an employer can terminate an employee at any time and for any reason, as long as it's not prohibited by law. However, there are exceptions to this doctrine, such as public policy decisions (i.e. an employer cannot terminate an employee for reporting illegal activity), implied contractual disputes (i.e. an employer cannot terminate an employee if there is an implied contract in place), and good faith and fair dealings (i.e. an employer cannot terminate an employee in bad faith or unfairly). Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Retention agreements and just cause are not exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine. Wrongful discharge is a term used to describe situations where an employer terminates an employee in violation of the law or a contract.
