As a general rule, Arkansas employment law follows the “employment at will” doctrine. This means that both employers and employees are free to terminate employment as they wish, at any time, without having to provide prior notice or a reason for termination. However, an employee may still sue for wrongful or arbitrary termination if the termination was due to discrimination based on age, religion, sex, race, national origin, or disability. An employee may also not be fired due to pregnancy or abortion.
