Heading: Claim of Wrongful Discharge

Text: The Montgomerys presented no evidence of an agreement either defining the duration of Mrs. Montgomery's employment or limiting Big B's right to terminate her employment. There was, then, an employment at will. Alabama law has not departed from the rule that an employer may terminate an employee at will for no reason or for any reason, including a wrong reason. Martin v. Tapley, 360 So.2d 708, 709 (1978). Summary judgment was correctly entered on the issue of Mrs. Montgomery's allegedly wrongful discharge. We find no error in the decision of the trial court; thus, we affirm the summary judgment below. AFFIRMED. TORBERT, C.J., and MADDOX, SHORES and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
