Vermont and at-will employment

Like most US states, Vermont generally follows at-will employment — but the details that trip up small employers (final paycheck timing, paid sick leave, meal and rest breaks, local ordinances) vary. Your handbook draft uses at-will framing and flags the Vermont-specific points to confirm with counsel.
