What is the name of your state? MD
I was hired in March 2005 in the state of Maryland. as a sales representative. I was working for a little over a month. The employment letter or contract states that" 'company name' will guarantee you $5,000 per month of compensation for a period of six months............At the end of the six month draw guarantee, you will have to earn enough commission to cover your draw. We will review your progress at 30, 90, and 180 days."
I had a review at 30 days that went well. The following day late in the afternoon. I was told "we do not like the lack of speed with your progress and are going to have to let you go".
My question is that the term "at will" was not used in the letter at all. I was not given a reason for termination and "reasonable" period of time to improve whatever problems they had.
I turned down other job offers to accept this one because of the sixth month period of time to learn all about the new job and get up to speed.
What are my rights? I believe that if they do not continue to pay me then it is breach of contract.
