That would depend on the contract would it not?

  Absolutely. But even if such contracts were possible, wouldn’t people avoid signing contracts that allow the employer to simply stop paying? My contract has a 3 month notice so unless I agree to anything else, I’d be paid 3 months regardless of whether the business is able to operate at all. But I suppose that if my contract didn’t have that and I instead had a signing bonus or some other comp that gave me a few months of security then that would be equivalent.

    It's uncommon in the US to have a set duration employment contract - almost every state allows either side to terminate employment for almost any reason. Those represented by unions usually do have a collective bargaining agreement that puts more restrictions around when and how employers can terminate employees, but union membership in the US is low.
