Smith and his coworkers signed an at-will employment agreement that promised a deferred salary of $15,000 “[i]n the event that Employee remains employed for two years.” The agreement also provided that if the employees left before that date or were terminated for cause, the employees would forfeit the incentive payment and were responsible for paying the costs of returning to their home locations. The employees were terminated after the eight-week orientation period but within two years, when the project they had been hired to work on was withdrawn. They claimed the right to the $15,000 on the ground that they had not resigned and had not been terminated for cause. Were the employees entitled to the $15,000 deferred salary?
