Skilled Representation on Employment Issues
The employee-employer relationship is a complex one. Employers have certain rights and obligations, as do workers. However, on issues of hiring and firing, the law is clear: unless there is a contract, the employer can fire an employee for almost any reason and an employee can quit voluntarily at almost any time. This is known as "at-will employment."
At Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon, P.C., we advise and represent employers in Houston, Fort Bend County, Corpus Christi and throughout Texas. Our attorneys are deeply familiar with the at-will employment doctrine and how it can affect a business. We have defended several area employers in wrongful termination cases. We also draft employment agreements that are clear about the nature of the relationship.
To arrange a consultation to discuss your company's relationship with employees, call 866-398-1856/888-654-7305 or contact our law firm online.
Protecting Texas Businesses
Our Houston employment law attorneys have vast experience representing both employers and employees in complex cases. That experience allows us to see the issues from both sides and build stronger cases for our clients.
The at-will doctrine basically means that an employee can be fired for any reason or for no reason at all, so long as the reason is not discriminatory. It also means that employees without contracts are free to leave at any time.
To prevent needless litigation, we draft employment contracts that contain very clear "without cause" termination clauses. These clauses clearly spell out the relationship and preserve the employer's right to terminate at any time. We also defend businesses if a former employee files a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination.
Whatever your employment and labor law needs, you can trust the experienced team at Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon can protect your business's interests.
