What Is an Employment Contract Breach?
Also known as an employment breach of contract, an employment contract breach is a situation in which either an employer or an employee has failed to comply with the provisions found in the employment contract that governs the relationship between the two parties. In many nations, this applies to both implied and expressed provisions of the contract, making it necessary for both parties to abide by the terms of the agreement as well as any governmental regulations that may apply to employment in that country. Should either party fail to abide by the terms of the contract, the other party has the right to terminate the agreement, and may have the legal ability to seek redress in some form.
