California Court Rules Employer Had No Right to Eliminate Reduced Sales Quotas for Senior Agents.

In a case brought by insurance agents, the California appeals court has ruled that an employer may not unilaterally eliminate certain obligations to employees contained in a policy that did not have an indefinite duration. McCaskey v. California State Auto. Ass’n, No. H032186 (Cal. Ct. App. Oct. 29, 2010). Reversing summary judgment for the employer, the Court held that a triable issue of fact existed regarding the duration of the policy and allowed the case to proceed to trial.
