Unambiguous contract means lower commission for employee
MA
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals tossed a jury’s award of $1.5 million, finding the terms of the employee’s incentive plan were unambiguous and the trial was unnecessary.
David Lawson sued his employer for breach of contract and violation of Indiana’s wage claim statute after his potential commission of $1.8 million was reduced to $54,000. Lawson was a services sales executive and sold computer maintenance and support service for StorageTek Inc. While he was working on a deal to add JPMorgan Chase & Co as a new customer, StorageTek was acquired by Sun Microsystems Inc.
A federal jury found for Lawson but the 7th Circuit reversed the judgment of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana and remanded with instructions to enter judgment for Sun. The case isDavid Lawson v. Sun Microsystems, Inc., 13-1502 and 13-1503.
Sun claimed Lawson’s sale was finalized and invoiced after the acquisition was complete and, therefore, was subject to the conditions of the company’s incentive plan.
Notably, Sun viewed the JPMorgan Chase deal as renewal business because the financial institution was already a customer of its services. Therefore the deal was subject to a lower commission than if it had been new business. Also, Sun amended Lawson’s incentive plan in September 2005, stating the current incentive plan for StorageTek would end in December 2005.
The JPMorgan Chase sale was not finalized and invoiced until March 2006.
Lawson argued provisions in the incentive plan were in conflict which created an internal ambiguity. The District Court agreed and allowed Lawson to present extrinsic evidence to a jury that Sun intended the compensation plan to continue beyond December 2005.
The 7th Circuit held contractual phrases must be read as a whole. Pointing to Allen Cnty. Pub. Library,997 N.E.2d at 52 and Four Seasons Mfg. v. 1001 Coliseum, LLC, 870 N.E.2d 494, 501 (Ind. Ct. App. 2007), the appellate panel noted Indiana courts tend to read contracts holistically so the provisions harmonize rather than oppose each other.
“Read together, these provisions unambiguously establish that to qualify for commission credit under StorageTek’s 2005 plan, a sale must meet all eligibility requirements by the end of the year, that is, by December 25, 2005,†Diane Sykes wrote for the court. “The JPMorgan Chase sale plainly did not qualify.â€

IS IT TRUE JULY 2, 2015
IS IT TRUE it’s extremely apparent that the EVSC and/or Teamsters Local 215 are unable to reach a labor agreement? …the two main issues of concern between both parities are union dues and providing employees with an open shop in order that EVSC employees have the choice to join the Union or not? …we wonder who will blink first?
IS IT TRUE the seven-member school board meets next Monday to discuss the next steps in the negotiations? …on the table is whether the board will continue to recognize the Teamsters or not? …this whole process affects 680 EVSC employees that are represented by Teamsters Local 215? …we find it laughable that EVSC President Mike Duckworth would accept donations from the Teamsters and then act like he’s backing EVSC.?  … which is it?
IS IT TRUE we find Mr. Duckworth stance against the Teamsters Local 215 interesting since he lobbied  the union hard to support his re-election to the school board last year?  …he’s now known as the man who promised Teamsters Local 215 he would be their biggest supporter in upcoming contract negotiations with the school system but reneged?
IS IT TRUE part of the present failure of Teamsters local 215 not getting a contract agreement with the EVSC is because the Union leadership tried to defeat then Board President Chris Kiefer? … political pay back is “HELL”?
IS IT TRUE we wonder what EVSC Attorney Pat Shoulders is doing during the negotiations? …after all,  we hear he is one of Teamster President Whobrey’s best friends?
IS IT TRUE that Whobrey is one of Winnecke’s major political supporters and we have to ask Whobrey where Winnecke stands on these negotiations?  … will he be supporting EVSC or turn his back on his old political buddy Whobrey?
IS IT TRUE the Vanderburgh Tax Assessor has raised the assessments of homes and businesses way over market value over the last couple of years? …the value of property is so inflated that one can’t sell homes at the assessed value?
IS IT TRUE home owners are so upset that they are appealing the assessed values as determine by the Tax Assessor in droves? …if you want to appeal your new property tax assessments the wait is over a year long? Â …voters will have to remember Bill Fluty is our County Assessor responsible for this mess?
