Chapter 3.10
AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT
Sections:
3.10.010 At-will employment.
All full-time employees of the district hired on or after September 1, 2004, and all part-time and temporary employees are employed on an at-will basis. As such, either the district or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and without right of appeal or hearing. The only way in which the at-will employment relationship may be changed, modified or altered is by a written agreement, signed by the general manager and employee and approved by the board of directors, specifically stating that it is modifying the parties’ at-will employment relationship. It is understood that this is the sole understanding and agreement between the parties regarding the at-will employment relationship and nothing in Chapters 3.05 through 3.100 HDWDC in any way alters the parties’ at-will employment relationship.
Employees hired prior to September 1, 2004, are for-cause employees and are eligible for the procedures outlined in HDWDC 3.75.020 through 3.75.060. [Res. 10-13 Art. 1].
