Question

A company handbook states that employees will be given warnings for three instances of arriving late for work, after which they will be fired. An employee is fired after being late for the first time. Which of the exceptions to at-will employment could apply?.

Answer 1

"at-will" simply means the employer can let you go without cause

Step-by-step explanation:

At-will means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without incurring legal liability. Likewise, an employee is free to leave a job at any time for any or no reason with no adverse legal consequences.
