On February 12, Sally was hired to manage a company for a period of one year. She reported for work on February 26 but was fired two weeks later. She sued the owner of the company for breach of their one-year oral contract. May she recover? Why?
In management parlance, Sally cannot sue her employer for breach of contract . There is no validation in any from of electronic or written confirmation that she was under a one-year contract.
So, as there is an absence of a written contract between Sally and her employer, she cannot sue her employer. In order to sue someone for breach of an oral contract, you need to prove that a binding agreement was in place. Oral contracts, however, may be difficult to prove.
