Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described is an example of termination under the employment-at-will doctrine, which allows employers to terminate employees for any reason or no reason at all, as long as it does not violate any laws or contracts. Since Steven's boss did not provide any specific reason for the termination, it is likely that it falls under this doctrine. Employment variability pertains to fluctuations in labor demand, while workplace monitoring refers to the practice of monitoring employees' activities while on the job. An orientation period is a specified period of time during which employees are evaluated prior to being retained permanently. None of these concepts are relevant to the scenario described.
