TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; DEATH; DISABILITY Clause Samples
The 'Termination Without Cause; Death; Disability' clause defines the conditions under which an employment or contractual relationship may be ended by either party without the need to prove wrongdoing, as well as what happens if the individual dies or becomes disabled. Typically, this clause allows an employer to terminate an employee at any time for any reason not related to misconduct, and it also outlines the procedures and entitlements if the employee passes away or is unable to work due to disability. Its core function is to provide clear guidelines for ending the relationship in these situations, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations, and reducing potential disputes over termination circumstances.
