Quick Answer

At-will employment means both you and Leeds West Groups may end the employment relationship at any time, for any lawful reason, with or without notice.

 

What Is At-Will Employment?

At-will employment is the standard employment relationship in all states where LWG operates.

This means:

  • LWG may end employment at any time, with or without cause or notice.

  • Employees may resign at any time, with or without notice.

  • No policy, handbook, or communication guarantees continued employment.

 

Does At-Will Mean I Can Be Terminated for Any Reason?

No. While employment is at-will, termination decisions must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.

 

Do Workplace Policies or Discipline Still Apply?

Yes. LWG maintains policies and performance standards to support fairness, consistency, safety, and professionalism. These policies do not change at-will status. LWG may bypass progressive corrective action when appropriate based on the situation.

 

Do I Have to Give Notice Before Resigning?

No. Notice is not legally required unless stated in a written agreement. However, providing notice is encouraged and helps support smooth transitions and professional references.

 

Who Does At-Will Employment Apply To?

At-will employment applies to:

  • Full-time employees

  • Part-time employees

  • Temporary or seasonal employees

Unless there is a specific written agreement signed by both the employee and LWG stating otherwise, all employment is at-will.

 

Does At-Will Employment Change Based on My State?

No. All states where LWG operates recognize at-will employment. Some states provide additional protections, but the at-will relationship itself remains the same across all LWG locations.

 

Can My Employment Terms Be Changed?

Yes. LWG may change job duties, compensation, schedules, work location, policies, or benefits. These changes do not alter at-will status.

 

Can a Manager Promise Job Security?

No. Only a written agreement signed by authorized Company leadership can change at-will employment. Verbal statements or informal assurances do not create a contract.

 

How Are Termination Decisions Handled?

LWG strives to:

  • Act consistently and professionally

  • Follow applicable laws

  • Treat employees with respect

  • Apply policies fairly

Final paycheck timing and benefit continuation depend on state law and individual circumstances.
