Legal Question in Administrative Law in California
Does my employer have to provide me a reason for termination? In 2 1/2 years I have never been faulted for my administrative work. They have asked me to sign a severance agreement, still without providing a reason for my lay off, should I do so?

Most employment is "at will," and an employee can quit or be terminated at any time. We sometimes say an employee can be fired for a good reason, or for no reason at all, but not for a bad reason..... which category would include race, sex and religion discrimination, whistle-blowing, and a few others. The most common exceptions to at-will employment are where there is a contract of some kind between the employer and the employee, either an individual agreement or a union collective-bargaining agreement.
