At-will employment means that the employee can be let go at any time as long as the reason is not based on illegal discrimination or other illegal grounds. The at-will employee can also quit at any time. An employment relationship that is contractually based, however, is governed by the terms of the contract and the applicable laws. The contract may dictate the employee can only be fired for cause.
