My offer letter says that since this employment is not for a specific term it constitutes at-will employment. I can resign any time with out any reason and so can they conclude employment anytime without any cause.
I read up a little bit about at-will employment and found it little strange.
Below are the few questions that I have in mind
1) Is at-will employment a norm in USA?
2) How is it different than contract jobs?
3) Why are contract jobs paid way more than at-will?
4) I am being hired for a specific client, if client says no more work I might get laid off. Will I get any layoff benefits?
5) If above question is no, then what type of employment gets layoff benefits?
6) What are the other type of employments?
7) Should I accept this offer? They are giving me almost 40% hike.
Regards
