0797 REVIEW DENIED A termination to avoid paying commissions earned by the employee or in retaliation for the employee's report to upper management about the employer's unlawful failure to pay overtime to other employees violates public policy and so may be the basis of a tort action for wrongful termination; an employment performance evaluation that accuses an employee of making a one hundred thousand dollar error in estimating a job imputes incompetence to the employee and so may be the basis of a defamation action.CitationGOULD v MARYLAND SOUND (Unpaid Commissions) 31 CA4 1137 [See: Gantt v Sentry 1 C4 1083; Foley v Interactive 47 C3 654; Jensen v H-P 14 CA4 958, T/AT 6/93]
