Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The general at-will employment doctrine is what employers generally refer to unless there are statutes that provide more detail. This is a situation in which there is a lack of laws or contracts that narrow the reasons for which employees may be terminated. Where such laws or contracts exist, they must be adhered to.
The District of Columbia has no rules governing at-will employment.
