Q: I have received an employment status letter stating that I'm a full 8 he worker. Now there is another saying temporary?
Is this right and I was never notified.
A:
Every employee is a temporary worker unless:
1) They work for government and are protected by civil service laws.
2) They are union collective bargaining agreement protected.
Or
3) They negotiated a term or lifetime contract of employment privately.
Almost all other employees are "at will" and must comply with numerous common law duties such as loyalty to employers and with policies which often include timely reporting for work duties. Technically unless covered by 1, 2, or 3 above everyone is temporary.
Seek an employment lawyer consult for more details or to review the letters or writings which might be contracts of employment, although not often.
