voluntary termination
Quitting by choice
Voluntary termination is the ending of something by choice rather than compulsion.
In employment, it means quitting a job rather than being fired or laid off: She listed her departure as a voluntary termination.
In finance, it refers to ending a contract early, often with penalties.
The phrase sometimes serves as a euphemism for abortion.
