...Employment-At-Will Doctrine Howard Jones LEG 500 January 20, 2013 Professor There exists a relationship between an employer and an employee which is governed by a set of rules and regulations. These rules are referred to as the employment at will doctrine. These rules give employers the unfettered authority to terminate the employment of an employee at will for a reasonable cause, or for no cause. On the other hand, this doctrine gives an employee the right to terminate the relationship with the employer. Generally, an employee will be relieved of his or duties by the employer if he does not perform or if the employee is incapable to acclimatize him or herself to the position’s requirements (Mark et al., 1987). Legally, an organization has the right to terminate the services of an employer if he or she proves incompetent. A manager or an employer has a fundamental role of solving performance issues in the organization. In essence, the best way to handle an employee’s productivity or performance is through creating a performance evaluation system. This system cultivates a culture where collaboration and communication will assist in addressing such problems. In the first case of Jenifer, since she is a new recruit to the company, I would ensure that she receives additional training on computer packages even though she has had this type of training already (DelPo & Guerin, 2011). I believe, as a manager, my responsibilities would...
