At Will Employment anyone use this option?

This is standard here in Texas... it just means that you are not under a contract... either individually or through a union... nothing strange...


It also means that if you do something wrong they can tell you to pack up and go RIGHT NOW... or even escort you out and send your stuff...


Now, if the company has a policy to pay 2 weeks or more you still fall under their policy... but some have no extra money if you were at fault of doing something... IOW, get caught stealing you are out with no severance...

My first job out of college had the "you're still on the payroll for 2 weeks but this is your last day" policy. I was relocating from Ohio to NJ so counted on the 2 weeks to fly to NJ (at new employer's expense), find an apartment, fly home and then move. It worked out just fine.
