Not always. “With Cause” is defined in employment contracts quite a bit more broadly than just misconduct in all its forms. For example, my most recent contract had terms about the company hypothetically requiring relocation and I refusing as being “With Cause,” as well as things like not complying with internal rules, procedures, or org charts. Basically any reason for letting me go due to a choice I made. “Misconduct” on the other hand requires material detriment, aka me screwing over the company financially.
“With Cause” is about you being qualified for severance pay. “Misconduct” is about you causing trouble through intent or severe negligence.
- bluGill 8y agoThat might be different for the legal term "With Cause" though. It is common for legal documents to define terms, many laws in fact start with a definition section that apply just to that law. Thus legally your state may have several different definitions for "with cause" that apply to different parts of the law.
- gamblor956 8y agoThat's cool but that's not legally for cause in the US whatever the company wants to claim. I'd go even further and say they may be violating labor law but including such a provision.
