The appellant employer appealed a trial judgment awarding the respondent employee damages for wrongful dismissal, specifically challenging the inclusion of bonus, profit sharing, and vacation pay.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding it was open to the trial judge to treat the bonus and profit sharing as deferred compensation, given they formed a substantial portion of the employee's compensation and he was told they would be treated as such upon hiring.
The award for one week's vacation pay was also upheld.
