Gregg N. Hathaway, Petitioners v. General Mills, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that General Mills failed to give unequivocal notice of a commission rate reduction and therefore did not modify the at-will employment contract with Hathaway. Because notice was not proven, Hathaway’s continued employment did not constitute acceptance of the lower rates, and the trial court’s judgment awarding him the original commissions was affirmed.
