Jill Davenport had been working for Donna Gundersen in a supervisory position for 14 years when Donna called her into the office and told Jill that there was NO work for her. Jill was told that she could expect to be off the job within 10 days and that the employeremployee relationship would be terminated at that time. During Jill's 14 years of employment, Jill had worked in a number of positions, but when she assumed her most recent supervisory position one year prior, she had signed an agreement stating that she was entitled to only one week's notice. This agreement also provided Jill with a substantial raise.

Required:

a) Discuss the legal positions of the two parties.

b) Explain what kinds of restrictions there are on an employer's right to dismiss an employee.
