Discussion about terminating the employment contract


Problem: Tonway Logistics (Tonway) is a private courier company. Tonway hires Robbie, the seventeen-year-old son of one of Tonway's truck drivers, to work during the months of June, July, and August cleaning the truck wheels and tires of Tonway's transportation fleet. Tonway agrees to pay Robbie $17 for each truck that he cleans. Robbie turns out to be a very hard worker, and on his first day of work, he cleans the tires of 20 trucks. Tonway thinks $340 is more than it expected to pay Robbie for eight hours of work and wonders if it can use the infancy defense to avoid paying Robbie and to terminate his employment contract early. Do you think Tonway's argument will be successful? Fully explain your answer, including any rule or rules that support it.
