Geysen v. Securitas Security Services USA, Inc.
Supreme Court of Connecticut (2016) | 142 A.3d 227; 322 Conn. 385; 26 Wage & Hour Cas.2d (BNA) 1374; 2016 Conn. LEXIS 235
TL;DR: An employer fired a salesman, denying him commissions for deals made but not yet invoiced, per their contract. The court upheld the contract term but allowed the salesman to sue on the theory that the employer fired him in bad faith specifically to avoid paying the commissions.
Legal Significance: This case affirms that while employers can contractually set conditions for earning commissions, they breach the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing if they terminate an employee in bad faith to prevent those conditions from being met and avoid paying for past services.
