Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Washington
employment at will
I am going to quit my present job and
move on to another position. I am the
only employer Resident Manager at
homeowners Association .I signed a
contract 2000: ''Employment at
Will: Employment with condominum is
at-will. XYZ Condominium and its
employees are free to terminate the
employment relationship at any time,
with or without cause or advance notice
for any reason not prohibited by law.
This at-will employment relationship
cannot be altered, except by written
agreement signed by the XYZ
Condominium Board of Trustees.'' I
AM leaving..just not sure how to do this
correctly ...can they in any way stop me
(I have another job lined up). Is it my
right to leave any day I choose without
notice or any reason? I plan on giving
them 2 week notice because I want to
give them enough time to replace me &
smooth transition. How do I correctly
word a notice? I don't have to state any
reason if I understand the at-will law in
Wash. state. I'm thanking you in
advance for your answers. I'm taking
my entitled vacation to get married &
pres. of board is making difficulty,
having to continually change
honeymoon & wedding plans coming up
soon in December.

Re: employment at will
At will employment means both parties are free to terminate the relationship at anytime and for any reason (that is not legally prohibited), and may terminate without stating a reason.
