What is the name of your state? CA
If i was a minor when i signed the at-will agreement, is the agreement still valid?

Well the form that i signed when i was 16 said i was an at-will employee for the first 90 days (probation). So i am guessing that after those 90 days they need to give a reason for letting me go. So my question remains...If i am now an adult do the terms of that agreement still apply?
Are you talking about the notice that California is an "at-will" employment state, and that you are considered an "at-will" employee? That's not an "agreement" - that's an acknowledgment. Yes, it's valid.Thanks for your input. But does anyone no one know whether or not the agreement is still valid if i signed it when i was a minor?
What they're trying to tell you is that it doesn't matter if your age affects the validity of anything you sign. The document you signed is an acknowledgement that you're an at-will employee. Let's say that, no, because of your age, your signature cannot legally validate any document. That doesn't change the fact that you're an at-will employee. With or without whatever you signed, you're still an at-will employee. If you're sixteen, you're still an at-will employee. If you signed it "Jabba The Hut", you're still an at-will employee. If you signed it left-handed, in pink ink, while standing on your head and whistling "Dixie", you're still an at-will employee.Thanks for your input. But does anyone no one know whether or not the agreement is still valid if i signed it when i was a minor?
Nobody but you and your employer knows what you signed. As has been said previously, your age is irrelevant. Chances are you signed something that specifically outlined that you had a 90 day probationary period, were an at will employee, and could be let go for any reason during that period of time. But the same holds true even after the first 90 days unless there is an employment contract in place that specifies you and the employer have committed to employment for a specific period of time - which doesn't seem to be the case otherwise you'd know about it. (What you signed very likely just indicated the employer does not follow their customary progressive disciplary policy for probationary employees. If it appears a new employee isn't working out, they'll just let them go.)Are you talking about the notice that California is an "at-will" employment state, and that you are considered an "at-will" employee?
