atw: Re: Unreasonable/ Ineffective Contract term: Terminate for convenience

I love it :)

She has my congratulations. I wonder if the clause will now be reworded to
only allow it as a management option in future. :)

Cheers,

Bruce Ashley

convenience


A while back we had a discussion about contract terms, particularly this
one:
"<X> may terminate for convenience...."

At the time my wife was on a contract with a one-hour termination
clause.  She didn't think much of it at the time she took the contract,
but signed anyway.

Yesterday she invoked the clause.  She resigned, and left the place one
hour later.  What's more, she enjoyed doing it.

Apparently the management were somewhat taken aback.  It hadn't
occurred to them that an employee might take advantage of a clause that
was put there for the convenience of management.
