• holding that summary judgment was improper on an at-will employee’s breach of contract claim for failure to pay a bonus where the plaintiff resigned once he learned that his employer would not pay the bonus as promised
• reversing dismissal of quasi-contract claim where plaintiff claimed that bonus was not discretionary, but rather was part of non-forfeitable earned wages
• denying summary judgment for employer, even though contract stated that any bonus was left to sole discretion of company, where bonus was substantial in proportion to base salary
• “Employees in this State may enforce an agreement to pay an annual bonus made at the onset of the employment relationship where such bonus constitutes an integral part of plaintiff’s compensation package.” (citation and quotation omitted)
