Guest BrettOlbrys Posted January 4, 2001 Posted January 4, 2001 I work for a Multinational Company in Sales and have done so for the same company for 5+ years. In 2000, I finished the year as the #1 Salesperson in my region of the country and for this accomplishment, I am supposed to win a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. But, I am leaving the company and now they are denying me this reward that I justly won. They are paying me my 4th quarter commission and my year-end bonus that I earned, but they will not give me this trip. I see this as some type of violation of the law because there are no stipulations in the contest rules which state their position that since I'm leaving the company, I can not claim this reward. Any thoughts for me??? Thanks!!!
rcline46 Posted January 8, 2001 Posted January 8, 2001 Obviously you need an attorney here. However, if the contest used the word employee anywhere, and you are not an employee at the time the trip is taken then.... If you are that upset, get a lawyer and provide him / her with all the information on the contest /trip you can. But don't get your hopes too high. Bet your (former) employer has 'been there, done that' and has a pat answer.
Guest William Hoversen Posted January 17, 2001 Posted January 17, 2001 You will indeed need a private attorney. Obviously, without seeing any of the documentation, any opinion is an educated guess, but contests of this nature are generally governed by state contract law.
