Question juridique clé
Whether the employment contract provided a fixed base salary independent of results
Solution extraite
Yes. The contract established a monthly base salary of CHF 10,750, not remuneration dependent on the outcome of business brought in by the employee.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court accepted the cantonal court's interpretation of the contract under Art. 18 CO. The literal wording, the reference to a base salary, and the actual payments made supported the conclusion that the parties did not agree on result-based remuneration.
