In football employment-related disputes, FIFA has applied the principle of 'reciprocity', which&nbsp;foresees that the parties stipulate mutually fair obligations in their contracts. As we will see, this can have a significant impact on the amount due to clubs and players for breach of an&nbsp;employment contract. Article 17 of the&nbsp;FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players&nbsp;(RSTP) (Consequences of terminating a contract without just cause) enables the parties to&nbsp;establish the amount of compensation payable in the event of the premature termination of a contract without just cause by either the club or the player/coach.
