While “employment at will†is a phrase most church leaders have heard, not everyone knows what it truly means.
In a nutshell, the employment at-will rule establishes a default rule that an employment relationship is indefinite, not for a certain duration of time, and can be ended at the will of either the employer or employee.
The rule is a presumption courts use that employment may be ended without notice, without giving any reason, and without consequences — unless the employer and employee have agreed to a different type of arrangement.
