New York City is doing away with “at-will” employment in the fast-food industry; instead, employers will only be able to terminate a worker for just cause, the Society for Human Resource Management reported. The law takes effect July 4. At-will employment allows employers to terminate employees for any reason with a few exceptions such as unlawful discrimination. Just-cause termination requires a reason as identified by law or collective bargaining agreement.
