| Mr Khan said: I have an idea of what you mean, but explain your point on "removing at-will employment." Do you mean putting in rules about firing and quitting a job that makes doing either harder? Like, i know 2-weeks notice is the law in a lot of countries, rather than courtesy under an at-will system. Just as At-Will employers can fire you for any reason aside from the protected categories, or for no reason at all... |
Sort of?
Basically "at-will" employment is actually pretty rare as far as countries go.
Basically how it works is... anytime you get hired for a job you fill out a contract with a company specifically defining your duties and what is expected of you. Then there is usually like a 3 month trial period. Then after that you can only be fired if you fail to live up to your contract. Which tends to be a year or two I believe... sometimes less for seasonal jobs etc.
Having your contract on paper and having to agree to it really hits home what you are agreeing too. Making your "demand" for the job weaken a bit, and making you demand more from it. In general this does create an increase in unions, espiecally for "good" jobs.
