Choose your jurisdiction carefully, especially if "the transition out" mechanism is a resignation rather than an extended notice to an amicable firing, and the resignation means the employee misses out on a severance payout.

- sambeau 11y agoExactly. Here in the UK you would have to be very careful not to find yourself in an Industrial Tribunal. That said, I personally think anyone should be able to be bought out of a contract with, say, 3-6 months pay.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoThe average payout for unfair dismissal is 6 months pay and constructive dismissal is hard to prove unless the company is particularly dumb - e.g. having recordings of discussing firing some one for being gay.
