Employment Law Question of the Month What do you know about At-Will Employment? By Michael Weinstein and Lee Burdick Austin Ferris & Britton, APC California presumes that employment is "at-will" unless there is an employment contract in place that deviates from that presumption. Despite that presumption, a recent appellate court found that "an at-will employer does not have carte blanche to lie to an employee about any matter whatsoever to trick him or her into accepting employment." Agosta v. Astor, 2004 Daily Journal Daily Appellate Reports 8407 (July 12, 2004). In other words, an employer cannot make false promises regarding the terms of employment, change those terms arbitrarily once the employee accepts the new position, and then shield itself from liability by claiming the employee was "at-will." Astor, the owner and operator of radio stations KMXN in Orange County and KFSD in San Diego, intended to change the format of the stations. In the course of the station overhauls, he hired a new sales director, Lee Weiman, and a new general sales manager, Len Agosta, for the two radio stations. Following negotiations, Astor faxed to Agosta a document entitled "Compensation Packages." Click here for the complete article. |
