What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I have been employed with my current employer for 2 years now, and recently they updated the company employee handbook with a lot of new guidelines. For instance, there is a paragraph in there that you must tell them if you are doing any work outside you engage in outside the office hours you normally work for them.
It states that the employee handbook is a not a contract for employment and all positions are at-will. My understanding of At-Will means they can terminate me for no reason at all whenever they choose. If this is the case, why sign an employee handbook because whether I do or not they can terminate me? Am I under any obligation to do sign as I'm already employed and signed a different one before I first started?
Thanks
