A respiratory therapist left her hospital job to become director of a start-up sleep clinic at a $120,000 salary. Unfortunately, the clinic didn’t earn enough revenue to meet its salary obligations to the director and fell $43,000 in arrears. The clinic claimed—and the director denied—that the director agreed to defer half her salary until the clinic became profitable. But the court didn’t believe it and ordered the clinic to pay her back salary with interest [McGregor c. Clinique du sommeil de Montréal Inc., 2008 QCCQ 7821 (CanLII), Sept. 15, 2008].
