Docket entry
151160 Johnston v. Wood & Associates 06/02/2016 In accord with century-old case law holding that when an employment contract does not specify a time period for its duration, either party is ordinarily at liberty to terminate it at-will on giving reasonable notice of the intention to do so, the contention that such notice includes a temporal component, i.e., the notice must be provided at some reasonable time before the termination of the employment relationship, is rejected. In this context, "reasonable notice" simply means effectual notice that the employment has been terminated. The judgment sustaining a demurrer to the complaint of a former employee is affirmed.
