We describe how the employment-at-will doctrine in the USA has eroded over time, allowing for the rise of wrongful termination lawsuits. Furthermore, we offer a prescriptive model practitioners can use to navigate the increasingly complex process of conducting terminations in order to decrease exposure to legal liability.
