Part of director retirement benefits regulations translation. 「退任職」I am unsure of how to handle: "Leaving office"? Or perhaps just 'Retirement' (as it is understood that 'retirement' in this case is 'retirement from position as director')? Thanks!

Resignation

Explanation:
Can't you simply say it as "resignation?" What are those 事由? You can't use resignation because of them?

In that case, a director is more or less 自由に (:-)) leaving the company, as opposed to be forced to leave the company for a bad cause. Then I see no problem in saying it as resignation. Do you?

Step down from the post of (director)

Explanation:
Here "職" should mean the position of the person that is "取締役" and "退任" means "step aside" "step down" or "retire". But here step aside/ step don may be more appropriate, because the sentence indicating that the director who has continuously worked for more than 1 year due to.....

Ah - just realized that the term is used for heading the paragraph. Then Resignation - as suggested by Yuki - is to be preferred!

Example sentence(s):

If the Director leaves office early or is unable to carry out the duties of her/his office, the Directorate elects a successor without delay.
If , however , a director leaves office at the conclusion of a term for which he was elected or as a result of his death or disability , all unvested options will vest at that time.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks Benjamin. Yes, it had to be a short term for the heading, so while expressions like "leaving office" or "end of tenure" may also have been OK, in this case, the simple "resignation" was most appropriate.
