Grounds for termination of gig contract
Compromise
The gig contract can be terminated by mutual consent of both parties at any time. This is the most favorable option when the resident and the gig specialist reach an agreement to end the cooperation.

Unilateral cancellation within the first three months
During the first three months of the gig contract, either party may terminate it with three days' notice prior to the scheduled termination date, unless the gig contract provides for a different term.
