If it is not for-cause employment, it must be employment at-will in any at-will employment state. Under at-will employment doctrine, any party can terminate a social contract that results in employment, for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all - with no liability to either party.

Requiring for-cause stipulations on an at-will employment relationship is a liability for the employee and more of a burden than it should be for the employer. The employee should be allowed to pay for half, as a matter of equity.
