Employment in New Jersey is generally on an "at will" basis. This means the employee is free to quit at any time and the employer may fire the employee at any time for any reason - except for unlawful discrimination. When the employer offers an explicit employment contract or modifies "at will" status through an employer's handbook, then employee rights and responsibilities are governed by the terms of those documents. Employer handbooks are treated like contracts, unless the handbook states (and some do) that employees cannot rely on it. New Jersey courts have said: ...

Companies that engage in this practice save money for themselves at the ...

With the economy sputtering, seeking to recover from the Great Recession that followed the financial meltdown of 2008, Congress worked for more than a year to develop comprehensive financial reform legislation. The result was the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which President Obama signed on July 21.
