HR Practice for Payroll Practitioners

An example of a frustration of contract (Force majeure) clause from an employee’s employment agreement:

The employee understands and agrees that their job may end without notice, or payment of notice, if a natural disaster, workplace fire, flood or other similar major event beyond the employer’s control makes it impossible for employment to continue. Where practicable, the employer will consult with the employee before exercising this clause.
