DOVE V. ROSE ACRE FARMS, INC.
434 N.E.2d 931 (1982)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the payment of a bonus. Dove (P), employee,
challenged a judgment in favor of Rose (D), employer, in a breach of contract action brought
by P.
FACTS: Dove (P) worked for Rose (D) and signed up for a bonus program wherein P
understood that to qualify for the bonus he would have to work ten weeks, five days a week,
commencing at the starting time and quitting only at quitting time and that P was fully
aware of the absenteeism and tardiness provisions as they affected his bonus. (P would lose
the bonus if at any time during the bonus period he would be late for work even by one
minute or even not show up for work due to illness.) In the tenth and last week of the bonus
period, P came down with strep throat and reported to work with a temperature of 104
degrees. P was told that if he went home he would lose his bonus and D offered him the
opportunity to lie down on a couch or make up the work on Saturday of Sunday. D told P he
could sleep and still qualify for the bonus. P left to seek medical treatment and missed two
days of work. D refused P the bonus. P sued D and D prevailed. P appealed.
