An employee sought a judicial interpretation of an employment contract following termination without cause, claiming additional severance based on commissions.
The dispute concerned whether the calculation of average annual commissions for termination pay should account for company losses incurred in the final fiscal quarters before termination.
The court held that the contract referred to "earned commissions" tied to net profits and losses rather than commissions actually paid.
Interpreting the contract in accordance with commercial reasonableness, the court concluded that outstanding company losses must be included when calculating average commissions for termination pay.
The employer had already paid the correct amount and owed no further compensation.
