Question: Delacruz, a nuclear reactor specialist, while employed at the Municipal Gas and Electric (MGE) nuclear power plant was offered a job with the U.S. Government Nuclear Regulatory Commission at a much higher salary. She was to begin work with the commission immediately.
Since her contract with Municipal Gas and Electric had not yet expired, MGE offered to increase her salary if she would complete her present employment contract with them. Delacruz agreed and stayed on until her contract with MGE expired. MGE then refused to pay the promised increase in salary. Is Delacruz legally entitled to the salary increase for staying on with MGE?
