Exceptions to the At-Will Employment Doctrine

California is an at-will employment state, which means that employers can usually terminate employees at any time for any reason, as long as it is not an illegal reason. However, there are some exceptions to the at-will employment doctrine, such as:

  • Implied contract exceptions, which may arise from an employer's promises or policies
  • Public policy exceptions, which protect employees from being fired for reasons that violate public policy
  • Implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, which requires employers to act in good faith when terminating employees
