Patrick Barnes and George Layton were employed by the Sailors' Maritime Service. When they expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs, their employer offered them a new contract whereby they would receive a 10 percent bonus on company profits if they remained with the firm. Several times they discussed the terms of the new agreement within an official of Sailors' Maritime. Eventually, they decided that the offer was a good one, and they continued on the job as usual. Sailors' later refused to pay the 10 percent bonus, claiming that its offer had never been accepted. Is Sailors' maritime refusal to pay legally correct? Or, to pinpoint the issue more directly, was the offer accepted by Barnes and Layton? Explain. Now Suppose that Sailors' Maritime had said to Barnes and Layton, "We will consider your written acceptance of this new proposal as binding us to the payments of 10 percent bonus," Would these additional facts change your initial evaluation of this case? Why or why not?
