Termination "for cause" or "just cause" is generally reserved for situations involving misconduct or behavior directly attributable to the employee that negatively affects their ability to perform their job or the safety and well-being of others. Insubordination and insolence are examples of behaviors that could result in termination for cause. Bankruptcy or company takeover, however, are external forces and not linked to individual professional behavior, thus not qualifying for termination for cause​​.
