Question juridique clé
Whether the parties had agreed that annual bonuses were discretionary and excluded for the termination year.
Solution extraite
The parties validly agreed that the bonuses were discretionary; the employer therefore owed no 2008 bonus.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal court's finding of the parties' actual intent was not arbitrary. The employee's silence after the dismissal and tax documents, read with the surrounding correspondence, supported an agreement that no bonus would be paid for 2008.
