RE: Cutting a contract short

["Andrea C. Carrero" <andrea -at- wordtex -dot- com>]

But we're not talking about employment in this case. We're talking about a
contracted arrangement to provide services. The contract rules whether it is
an at-will employment state or not, depending on the laws governing
contractual agreements between entities in the state(s) applicable in the
agreement. I agree, though, that giving notice in an employment situation is
a professional courtesy.

 

I know there is an attorney who is a member of STC, although I don't recall
his name. I'm sure that he would provide his services to members where he is
barred. He may even offer a discounted rate to members to do so.

Subject: RE: Cutting a contract short

 


Keep in mind that in employment-at-will states (U.S.), notification is often
considered professional courtesy only.  It  may not be legally required or
enforceable on either side. But  indeed, it's a lesson in reading the
contract, and consulting with an attorney.
