Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 19.25
Employment Contracts – Generally
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
Generally, a contract for employment is “at-will”. Employment “at-will”
means that either party may terminate the contract at any time without providing a
reason or cause.
In light of the evidence presented, you must determine whether [plaintiff’s
name]’s employment agreement with [defendant’s name] expressly created a
definite period of employment or otherwise expressly created a contract that could
not be terminated “at-will”.
