Of late there has been a growing body of law also seeking to prevent employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. If private business are left to as they please then the possibility of discriminatory practices include bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, compensation, retaliation, and various types of harassment may go unchecked. I think the government should intervene when one’s right to life has human being are affected as well as when human rights are violated and equal protection. “Due process protection requires that employees receive a fair process before the termination if the termination relates to a "liberty" (such as the right to free speech) or property interest,” (Negotiations.com, 2016). Governments can intervene in situation where laws states clearly that employees have to be protected from being discharged or otherwise penalized with respect to the terms and conditions of employment on the bases of race, colour, national origin, sex, religion, disability, pregnancy, and

"A contract is a legally enforceable promise or set of promises. In other words, when promises have the status of contract, the contracting party harmed by a breach of the contract is entitled to obtain legal remedies against the breaching party" (Mallor et al., 2015, p. 320)

It is human nature to look out for one’s individual self-interests. This vested interest is what minimizes unjust treatment by other parties and ensures success. Leverage is priceless when presented with an unfair employment scenario. In the case of an employer and employee relationship, too much power on either side can quickly become detrimental. Balancing this power is no easy task and holds no single solution. In this essay, I will propose that the contract at will, or employment at will, is one viable solution that can legitimately benefit both the employer and the employee. My view on this issue is one that is often the minority, as there has been a significant amount of criticism over the contract at will. In a society that is fearful of large and overly powerful corporations, the idea of at will employment can seem absurd to some. Many people believe the contract at will is an easy attempt for corporations to abuse their power against the working man. My arguments that follow will demonstrate how just-cause requirements are not always in the best interests of employees. My defense will include many of the points made by Epstein and other scholars, as well legal cases and my personal opinions. Through the use of the contract at will, I will argue that employment operations can become more efficient and equitable for all parties.

When it comes to contracts, there are certain elements or requirements, which need to be met in order for the contract to be valid. Defined, a contract is “an agreement that can be enforced in a court; formed by two or more parties who agree to perform or refrain from performing some act now or in the future” (Hollowell & Miller, 2014, p. 110). With contract law, there is the enforcement of promises made between two parties, even if made in private. Additionally if a promise is made, there is the possibility of the obligation falling into a moral liability rather than a legal liability. All in all, when it comes to business agreements, contract laws will apply to avoid any possible problems that may arise.
