Breach of Contract

When your employer doesn’t hold up their end of an employment agreement — whether that’s an offer letter, a commission plan, a bonus structure, or a signed employment contract — you can be left chasing money you already earned. We regularly see employers who change commission plans retroactively, deny bonuses that were promised in writing or clearly established by past practice, or terminate an employee specifically to avoid paying out compensation that was about to vest.

I represent employees in contract disputes involving:

These cases can be resolved through direct negotiation with your employer, a demand letter laying out the breach and the amount owed, or, when necessary, a lawsuit in state or federal court, or arbitration if your agreement includes an arbitration clause. Remedies can include the compensation you were denied, and in some circumstances, additional damages and attorneys’ fees. Timing matters here too: Florida and Georgia both impose statutes of limitations on written and oral contract claims, so the sooner your pay records and agreement are reviewed, the more options you typically have.

If you’re unsure whether what happened to you is a breach of contract, a wage violation, or both, that’s a distinction worth having a lawyer sort out — the legal theories affect your deadlines and your damages. Many employees have viable claims under more than one theory at once, which can increase both the strength and the value of a case.
