As a Franchise Attorney I offer a somewhat different perspective. In the absence of a written employment agreement, the employment is "at will" meaning either party can terminate at any time for any reason. If you had a contract, that of course is a different story. Consult with a good labor or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
