Montana is well-known in the employment world for deviating from the employment at-will doctrine. In Montana, employees are protected under the Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act (WDEA), which provides that an employee’s discharge from employment is wrongful if the discharge is not for good cause.1 One exception to the WDEA is that during an employee’s probationary period of employment, the employee’s employment may be terminated for any reason or no reason.2 While an employer can establish its own specific probationary period, if it does not, there is a six-month probationary period under the WDEA.3
