Georgia is an “at-will” state. This means that employers may terminate an indefinite term employment or contractor relationship for any reason that is not otherwise prohibited by law, or for no reason whatsoever. Essentially, the courts will not second-guess a legitimate business decision in workforce management but will intervene when such a decision is a breach of contract. An employment agreement or a contract for services providing for a fixed or definite duration can create further rights for the employee and independent contractor such as breach of contract
Thus, employment agreements should not be entered into flippantly nor should adverse employment actions be taken brashly, but rather termination of such commitments require much thoughtful consideration and … experienced counsel.
