Common use of Notice of Termination Without Cause Clause in Contracts

Notice of Termination Without Cause. a. Bargaining unit members that will be subject to termination not for cause shall be informed as soon as practicable, and the Employer will work to establish end of work dates which coincide with the end of an academic term or research project, when possible, so as to minimize the disruption of work. b. The Employer shall provide a minimum: i. twelve-month notice to faculty on indefinite tenure; ii. twelve-month notice to faculty on annual tenure appointments in their third or subsequent annual appointment; iii. six-month notice prior to expiration of their annual appointment to faculty on annual tenure appointments in their second annual appointment; iv. three-month notice prior to expiration of their annual appointment to faculty on annual tenure appointments in their first annual appointment; v. three-month notice to faculty on fixed-term appointments with promotion; and vi. one-month notice to faculty on fixed-term appointments without promotion. If financial exigency is so immediate as to render impracticable this notice, maximum practicable notice will be provided. c. Notice shall be provided in writing and contain affirmation that the individual bargaining unit member's termination not for cause resulted from factors unrelated to their merit or good standing.
