  1.  @_PatrickO  I admire your ability to know the contents of the contract without having seen it. I admire your deep knowledge of contract law, especially contract law in different countries, without having studied it. It’s amazing to me how you somehow transform your uneducated opinion into legal expertise. Please tell us how that’s done.

At will employment laws do not automatically apply if there are terms and conditions in the contract that spell out termination. Absent a legal contract, the state employment laws are the operant laws. Marvin and Patrick are substituting their opinion for expertise. I doubt they have experience as employers or as an employee hired on contract. Of course, this doesn’t mean Musk has to let the contract employee work. He can have someone else do her job and let her sit in her office doing whatever. What he cannot legally do is take away pay or benefits or otherwise unilaterally break the contract. I joined a company where one of the managers and the owner had a dispute. The manager had a year left on the contract, so the owner still had to pay his salary and benefits until the end of the contract. The owner did this while relieving the employee of his managerial duties. Every day for about three months the guy showed up, went to his office and read the newspaper. The owner finally got sick of having him around. I wasn’t privy if the owner paid off the balance of the contract in a lump sum or just told the employee to stop coming in while continuing to pay him, but after a few months, we stopped seeing him. I later was also terminated, but as an at-will employee, so I didn’t get to sit around and get paid for doing nothing. 😂 Honestly, the owner was an SOB and I wasn’t sad to go.
