Job Abandonment does not exist in a state that uses/acknowledges “AT Will Employment” because it works both ways. Just as an employer can fire you “At Will” for no reason at all, you can also walk out and leave for no reason at all.
They always find ways to put it on the worker don’t they?
We have discovered the loop hole in At Will Employment:
Federal Law States you cannot discriminate in the workplace for any reason based on race, religion, sex, etc., but….
……”At will” employment says you can fire an employee “At Will” for any reason or no reason at all.
Why would you fire someone for no reason?
You wouldn’t.
There is a reason, but every time you get questioned your answer is, “Pennsylvania is an “At Will” state, and I don’t need a reason,” and then of course, the threat, “leave or I will call the police.”
Is that fair?
Doesn’t an employee deserve an explanation after being terminated?
If you live in Pennsylvania and would like to get involved, write in.
