Attributable to, английский
‘attributable to’ means ‘is the cause of’ or ‘is the reason for’. for example, an employee’s constant absences were attributable to his serious illness.
Without cause, английский
There are generally two types of termination of employment, with just cause and without cause. being terminated without cause is far more common. non-unionized employees can generally be terminated for no particular reason as long as they receive adequate notice. common reasons to terminate an employee without cause are restructuring or downsizing.
