In Brazil, employments are at will, meaning that any party may terminate the employment agreement without cause upon the mandatory prior notice and payment of the severance. It is not necessary to mention any reason for termination, except if it is a termination with cause.
A severance clause aims to ensure that a contract will survive the deletion of an unenforceable provision. For example, where a court later deems that a particular provision of a contract is no longer, or was never, enforceable, this deletion would not invalidate or deem unenforceable the entire contract.
Most termination clauses are an agreement between the employer and the employee that in the event the employer elects to dismiss the employee without cause, the employee will only receive what they are entitled to under the Employment Standards Code.
Let's break it down with some definitions, as they pertain to U.S. employers: At-Will Employment. Voluntary Terminations. Mutual Termination of Employment. Involuntary Termination.

Dismissal due to misconduct – this is the most common form of dismissal. In this instance, the employee has done something wrong. Dismissal due to incapacity – this dismissal can take 2 forms – poor work performance or ill health. Dismissal for operational requirements – retrenchments.
It can happen for various reasons and in different forms. Voluntary termination: Voluntary termination is when an employee decides to leave the job on their own. This includes resignations and retirements. Involuntary termination: Involuntary termination happens when the employer ends the employment relationship.
The two types of termination of employment are involuntary and voluntary termination. The main difference between voluntary vs. involuntary termination is that voluntary termination occurs when the employee decides to leave the workforce. In involuntary termination, the decision is made by the employer.
Unless you have a contract with your employer for a specified length of service, either you or your employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason at all, with the exception of illegal discrimination. This is frequently called "Employment-at-Will."
