In Camp v. Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro (1995) 35 Cal.App.4th 620, after plaintiffs were hired they signed an acknowledgment that their " 'employment is at will and can be terminated at any time with or without cause. ' " (Id. at p. 627.) In a later lawsuit for wrongful discharge, the employees argued that the employer had made representations and had engaged in conduct that created an implied-in-fact contract requiring good cause for termination. The court rejected this contention on the basis of the signed acknowledgment forms. Even though not contained in an integrated employment contract, these acknowledgments constituted an "express at-will agreement" and thus precluded the existence of an implied contract requiring cause for termination. (Id. at p. 630.)
