Answer 1

Answer:-
-Employees in the USA are divided into two classes: (a) at-will employees
(b) just-cause employees
-An at-will employee in the USA can be terminated at any time, and for any reason – or no reason at all – and the courts will generally not intrupt.
-the common law doctrine of "employment-at-will" governed most employment relationships.

-This doctrine provides that either an employer or employee can end the relationship at any time and for any reason, unless doing so would violate a statute, an employment agreement, or public policy.
-Several federal and state statutes prevent the at-will doctrine from being applied
e.g., employment discrimination laws and whistleblower protection laws.

-an employer fires an employee for reasons that violate a clear public policy (e.g., firing an employees who refuse to perform illegal acts; or firing whistleblowers.
