Breeches are needed to protect people from the smell of brown streaks in the pants.

Yes breach clauses are standard. What I'm wondering is, if one were to breach a one year contract at say, 6 months, and claim to not like it or something, while starting a better job... Would one get the required release letter/recommendation letter etc from that school?

I'm thinking about taking a contract with a reasonable Breach clause, say one month's salary, in the city of my choice- while pursuing a lax Uni job across the street after 6 months! The school won't offer me a 6 month contract either so... I might as well cut a month's salary and get a better job. This is of course, unless the contract were to randomly have like a two thousand dollar fine...


To remain working legally, you cannot hop over to another employer with your release letter and recommendation. Legally, your employer is obliged to issue a release letter. How efficient they might be at producing one is another matter. As far as I know they are not obliged to give you a letter of recommendation which could prove to be a stumbling block in getting your residents permit transferred to a new employer.

I'd suggest that the best way forward is to speak with your employer about your proposal. It's unlikely they will relish your plans so expect hostility. But if they can see that you are genuinely unhappy then why would they want to keep you? Be prepared to negotiate such as a good time for the school for your to leave. Help them and they might help you.
