Miller v. Sevamp, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the at-will employment doctrine is not absolute because additional compensation can exist that takes the employment out of the at-will category
• finding an at-will employment relationship when the employment contract contained “no provisions from which a fixed period of intended duration can fairly be inferred”
• finding no wrongful discharge where an employee testified against her supervisor in a grievance hearing because “such a retaliatory act would impinge only upon private rights established by the employer’s internal regulations”
• at-will employment contract may be terminated by either party “for any reason, or for no reason”
• “The exception we recognized was not so broad as to make actionable those discharges of at-will employees which violate only private rights or interests.”
