They look forward each day to the chance of defending employee rights in New York City. In New York, there is no contract and employment operates at will. An employee in an employment at will can be terminated or resigned at any moment, and neither party is required to notify the other of the termination or to provide a reason. A contract of employment changes this. Your rights to continue employment in a contract-based employment relationship are determined by the contract. You can sue your employer for breach of contract if you're terminated against the terms of the contract. A simple employment contract may only be a few short pages or it can be many pages of legalese to ensure that the employer is protected as best as possible. Employment contracts usually cover details such as the start date of an employee, their pay, benefits and any other conditions and terms. The contract should also include grounds for terminating employment. It could list specific reasons or give general assurances that you will continue to be employed if your behavior is good, your performance or evaluations are positive, etc. If you are fired, these guarantees will be crucial in determining whether your termination was unfair. A contract can also be created in another way. Employment contracts are usually written and express agreements, but they may not always be. A contract can be implied by verbal agreements, employer actions, company policies, and employee handbooks. A New York employment attorney will review the situation to determine if an employment agreement exists.
