English term or phrase: employment-at-will
Hola colegas! Tengo la siguiente duda:

Florida is an *employment-at-will* state. This means that employers may terminate an employee at any time for any reason (unless the employee has an employment contract or other entitlement to employment). In the absence of an employment contract....

Puede ser sencillamente: "empleo a voluntad"?
muchas gracias!!!

empleo a voluntad


Explanation:
Sí, en el contexto (Estados Unidos) es lo que cabe, el empleado podrá ser cesado en cualquier momento; igual puede renunciar en cualquier momento. Es a voluntad de las dos partes.

Siempre que no sea por una causa prohibida (por su raza, color, religión, edad, género, sexualidad y varias más).
