U.S. and Canadian companies wishing to conduct cross-border business, and those that already have established cross-border operations, need to be mindful of fundamental legal differences in their legal obligations to employees.
As a general rule in the United States, an employment relationship for no specific duration may be terminated at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all. The mere existence of an employment relationship in the United States affords no expectation that employment will continue, or that it will end on certain conditions. This concept is generally referred to as the at-will employment doctrine.
