(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Both em­ploy­er and em­ploy­ee may ter­min­ate the em­ploy­ment re­la­tion­ship with im­me­di­ate ef­fect at any time for good cause; the party do­ing so must give his reas­ons in writ­ing at the oth­er party’s re­quest.¹⁹⁶

² In par­tic­u­lar, good cause is any cir­cum­stance which renders the con­tinu­ation of the em­ploy­ment re­la­tion­ship in good faith un­con­scion­able for the party giv­ing no­tice.

³ The court de­term­ines at its dis­cre­tion wheth­er there is good cause, However, un­der no cir­cum­stances may the court hold that good cause is con­sti­tuted by an em­ploy­ee be­ing pre­ven­ted from work­ing through no fault of his own.
