When it comes to these exceptions, Thomas Mitchiner, as an expert of employment law, is your best bet to fully understand what these exceptions mean and how they can impact you.

Some common exceptions to an at-will state could be in cases of discrimination, violation of public policy, and contract law. Discrimination could apply to the firing of an employee based on there ancestry, national origin, sexual orientation, religious preferences, age, sex, color, creed, race or a disability.
