Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason Sample Clauses
The 'Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason' clause defines the circumstances under which either party can end the employment relationship without the need to prove fault or misconduct. Typically, this clause allows an employer to terminate an employee without cause, often requiring advance notice or severance, and permits the employee to resign if certain negative changes occur in their employment, such as a reduction in salary or significant change in duties. Its core function is to provide both parties with a clear, fair process for ending the employment relationship in situations where continuing employment is no longer desirable, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential disputes.
