Opinion by
Mr. Justice Schaffer,From the year 1914, until the time of his discharge, in August, 1918, plaintiff was employed as a.sales manager by defendant. In July of the latter year, a new arrangement was entered into between him and Ms employer, as a result of which his minimum compensation was fixed at $5,000 per year. On August 5,1918, he was discharged from his employment and, on September 26th following, brought suit to recover the sum of $4,527.33, the unpaid balance of his salary for the year. He recovered a verdict for $2,144.67, upon which judgment was entered. The defendant has appealed and brings to our attention but two assignments of error, first, the refusal of the court to give binding instructions in its favor, and, second, the refusal to enter judgment for it non obstante veredicto.
The main contention is that there was a variance between the pleadings and the proofs; but it is not necessary to consider this question, since the sole assignments of error complain of the refusal, respectively, of binding instructions for defendant and judgment n. o. v., neither of them indicating any objection based on an alleged variance or that the point of variance was otherwise raised at trial; and, in any event, plaintiff was entitled to recover the proportion of salary accruing between August 5th, when he was discharged, and September 26th, when suit was brought. It follows that the court below could not have taken the case from the jury; particularly is this so, since it appears in the record that, in the letter of discharge, it was conceded to appellee that he should be paid a month’s salary.
The assignments of error are overruled and the judgment is affirmed.
