The CEO and President of xyz solicited me in January of 2004 to become the VP of International sales, I countered by recommending a trial period of three months. An agreement was drawn up, signed (below) and everything was positive until the first week of March when the CEO requested that I put together a list and forward the material to him. I agreed but, I had a major trade show the following week and I wanted to clean up my files before sending them out. The CEO and I spent a week in Las Vegas working a trade show and the last night before teardown he informed me that he might not pay me for my services in March. To me this case is rather cut and dry. I have a valid claim for breach of contract. I was controlled and directed by the CEO. Almost all of the work I performed (80%) was from my home office. The company owes me $9,600 for the month of March.
