Carol Mann and Gerald Harris worked for Helmsley-Spear, Inc. (HSI), as managers for various HSI properties. In 2005 each receive

d a bo­nus of $50,000 for their work in converting an HSI apartment complex, known as Windsor Park, into a condominium complex. The conversion started in 2002 and took three years. The bonus was paid pursuant to an oral contract made in December of 2001 that promised a bonus (above their salary) when the project was completed. HIS was very happy with their work and indicated that other projects are planned. In 2006 Mann and Harris were asked by HIS to work on another conversion of an apartment building known as Park West. For this project Mann and Harris were again orally promised a bonus (above their salary) using the formula similar to the Windsor Park conversion. It was understood that this project would also require two or three years to complete. In 2009, after successfully converting Park West, Mann and Harris were fired. HSI refused to pay them the bonus. Mann and Harris sued. Among other things, HSI contended that their oral agreement concerning the extra com­pensation was unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds.

Answer:

True - Contracts that require more than one year to complete must be documented in writing

Explanation:

The relevant detail from the scenario for the question is that ''In 2006, Mann and Harris were requested by HIS to undertake another conversion of an apartment building referred to as Park West. For this task, Mann and Harris were once again orally promised a bonus (in addition to their salary) using a similar formula to that of the Windsor Park conversion. It was anticipated that this venture would also take two or three years to conclude.''

According to the statute of frauds, contracts anticipated to last over a year need to be written to have legal standing.

When Mann and Harris were asked to manage the construction of an apartment that would last two to three years, they should have insisted on a written agreement.

HIS took undue advantage of their knowledge of the law and denied them the promised bonus; pursuant to the statute of frauds, they are not legally liable.

What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a federally insured account.? help​
harina [3808]

A federally insured account has several benefits:

- It is typically more secure due to government-backed insurance; if the account is compromised, the government guarantees reimbursement.

- Creating a joint account is simpler for married couples.

However, there are some downsides:

- The interest rates on these accounts often lag behind inflation, which essentially diminishes the account’s value over time.

- There is a cap of $250,000, meaning any amount above this limit cannot be added to the account.
