It has to be mutual in order for the quitter to "do what he wants".
This is due to it being a fixed term contract.


Arguably, the employee could quit, the employer could state he breached his contract by no longer providing the services contracted for and stop paying him, AND restrict him from working for a competitor during the remaining term of the contract.
No...actually, respectfully I think you are incorrect, and maybe a lawyer should weigh in, but I believe the term of the contract is irrelevant other than being the point at which an employer can control an employee.

If Treliving quits, he probably has some sort of 'Non-Compete Clause' that might be enforceable up to the Draft? Or to some reasonable point. In exchange for some compensation?

But I am guessing there.

If an employee quits however, they stop getting paid by their employer and then at that point owe that employer no more consideration and vice versa.

Thats why I said that he's on 'Paid Vacation.'

Anyways, not trying to 'call you out' or anything, thats just my layman's (not a lawyer) understanding of the situation.
