Gross Misconduct Sample Clauses
The Gross Misconduct clause defines actions or behaviors by an employee that are considered so serious they justify immediate dismissal without notice or pay in lieu of notice. Typically, this clause covers offenses such as theft, fraud, violence, or severe breaches of company policy, and it allows employers to bypass standard disciplinary procedures in these cases. Its core function is to protect the organization by enabling swift action against employees whose conduct fundamentally undermines trust or safety in the workplace.
