As an employer and employee, it is important to understand how a person is hired and how that impacts your relationship together. Employment at-will was devised by American judges in the 19th century. The purpose of employment at-will was to make it easier and more economical for free enterprise to expand and prosper. Why would this be important to you? Some are hired as at-will employees, whereas others have a contract and are term-employed.

Compose an 8-slide PowerPoint presentation analyzing the importance of knowing how you are employed. In doing so, include the following:

1. What is at-will employment?

2. What are the benefits to the employer in hiring you as employment at-will?

3. What are the benefits from the point of view of an employee to be employed as an at-will employee?

4. What are the exceptions to being an employee at-will?

5. Does at-will employment favor the employer, the employee, or both? Why?

6. Would you want to be hired as an at-will employee or an employee who has a contract?
