When you are hired, you will have made a commitment to us and in turn, we make a commitment to you.  If you do your job properly, we will fullfill the contract that we sign with you. We have never broken a contract with a teacher due to the reduction of corporate contracts–we have always found work or continued to pay full salary even with the teacher working reduced hours. We do not plan on changing this policy anytime soon, but your contract does stipulate that we reserve the right to terminate your contract with notice if necessary.  

That said, if the teacher provides an unsatisfactory performance, engages in criminal activity or other unsuitable behavior, then we reserve the right to terminate the contract immediately and without notice if necessary.  Fortunately this has been a very rare necessity for us, but in our nearly 30 years of operation, we have, of course, had a few problems. For example, we were forced to fire one teacher for showing up to classes drunk, another for abusive behavior, and another for the inability to show up for classes on time.
