United States Seventh Circuit

In a suit brought to recover almost $700,000 in sales commissions that plaintiff claimed was due from defendants, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) two claims were time barred since the two year statute of limitations applies to written compensation plans, even though plaintiff did not have a written employment contract; and 2) plaintiff was not entitled to commission on sales of one software package since it had to be sold in conjunction with another software package and plaintiff never claimed to have been denied this commission.
