Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
termination for cause
When a contract permits only termination for cause, must the specific cause be specified if the employee is terminated? What kinds of things would be legitimate ''causes''? Should they be specified in the contract?

Re: termination for cause
It is not necessary to list all causes in a contract. Recognized cause includes misconduct, theft, fraud, illegal conduct, conduct detrimental to the company, conduct for personal benefit at the expense of the company.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
