In Utah, the statute of limitations is four years for a verbal agreement and six years for a written contract.

Perhaps the most significant remedy for material breach is the right to terminate the contract. This releases the non-breaching party from any further obligations under the agreement.
Breach of the contract: All contract parties have a responsibility to perform obligations ing to the contract. If a party fails to perform them, blocks the other party from performing the same, or violates the terms of the contract, they will have breached the contract, and the contract can be terminated.
When the breach of contract is a serious breach or a breach of an essential term, the other party will have a right to terminate the contract or keep the contract going. However, your contract may require the hirer to provide you with a 'notice to remedy a breach' before it can be terminated.
In other words, it can be discharged by a breach. If one (or more) of the contracting parties fail (or refuse) to perform their contractual obligations, the innocent party is entitled to bring the contract to an end. But fear not. Doing this doesn't leave the innocent party at a loss.
Breach of condition The innocent party will be discharged from future performance of the contract if the term breached qualifies as a condition, i.e. a vital term. Provided the term is a condition, the innocent party will be entitled to terminate the contract, no matter how minor the consequences of the breach.

Utah operates under the “at-will” employment doctrine. This means employers in Utah have the flexibility to terminate employees for any reason—or no reason at all—without needing to provide advance notice.
A breach of contract occurs when a participating party is unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contract. Under these circumstances, the non-breaching party may choose to initiate a termination of contract, thereby releasing themselves from the contractual obligations to the breaching party.
Discharge by breach: Occurs when one party fails to perform their obligations, thereby discharging the other party's obligations. Main two types: anticipatory breach (repudiatory breach) and actual breach.
