AI HubEmployee Rights in Delaware
This video explains the legal employment framework in Delaware, which follows “at-will employment”. That means employers may terminate employees for any reason (except illegal ones), or no reason at all, provided it does not violate discrimination or retaliation protections.
The video outlines how home care providers and caregivers should understand this doctrine and maintain fair practices. It also covers the boundaries of at-will employment — how policies, contracts, or protected status (e.g., discrimination laws) can limit it.
Agencies are encouraged to maintain transparent policies and document performance. CareSmartz360 aids compliance by integrating staff documentation, records, and HR oversight into daily operations.
