Physician Contract Glossary · Termination
Breach of Agreement
A breach of agreement is a failure by either party to meet a contractual obligation, which can trigger termination or legal remedies.
A breach is any failure to do what the contract requires, by you or by the employer. A material breach, one that goes to the heart of the deal, can trigger for-cause termination, damages, or other remedies. The contract usually defines what counts as a breach and what follows, including whether the breaching party gets a chance to cure. Knowing what counts as your breach keeps you from triggering one unknowingly.
Read what the contract defines as a breach and confirm there is a cure period before consequences attach. Watch for one-sided language that makes your obligations breaches but treats the employer's failures as nothing.
