Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yolanda not having a specific employment contract with the company strengthens Jarvis' belief that he can fire her at any time. Without a contract, Yolanda is considered an at-will employee, meaning she can be terminated at any time, with or without cause, as long as the termination does not violate any anti-discrimination or anti-retaliation laws. The other options do not necessarily strengthen Jarvis' belief as they are not relevant to the at-will employment status.
