The employee understands that the nature of employment relationship is “at will”.  This means that at the sole discretion of either the employer or the employee, the relationship may be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice.

Personnel practices, including the right to hire, transfer, suspend, or discharge, to relieve employees from duty and to maintain discipline and efficiency of employees, rest exclusively in the sole discretion of the employer.  The employer may introduce new administrative methods and job requirements as changing needs indicate.

Nothing in this manual operates to change the status of the employee from at-will to any other status.  All disciplinary provisions in this manual are advisory.  The employer expressly reserves the right to terminate any employee at the sole discretion of the employer.

Any representations that change the employee status from an at-will employment status must be in writing and signed by the executive director of the organization.  Any other purported changes in the at-will nature of employment beyond the at-will policy of the employer were made prior to, or relied upon by the employee prior to hire.
