THE ONLINE CREATION AND MODIFICATION OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
B1. Pharma Meds Corporation employs Ogilvie under an employment contract that sets
out a specific amount of money to be paid for certain results over a stated period of
time. During the term of the contract, it becomes clear that the results are not likely
to be attained. Pharma then gives Ogilvie the option of accepting a lesser position
with fewer duties for less money. Ogilvie accepts via e-mail, but soon files a suit
against Pharma for breach of the original contract. The court is most likely to rule that
Ogilvie’s e-mail
a. showed only an agreement to agree.
b. accepted the proposed modification of the employment contract.
c. constituted a non-binding, non-contractual communication.
d. contained an acceptance but is unenforceable because it is electronic.
