Description
Gerald M. Smith, Presiding Judge Defendant appeals from a judgment against it in accord with a jury verdict in an employment case. Plaintiff brought his action in five counts. The first was for violation of the service letter statute. Sec. 290.140 RSMo 1986. The jury awarded plaintiff $1 actual and $60,000 punitive damages. The court set aside the award of punitive damages. No appeal has been taken from Count I. Count II sought damages for bonuses promised plaintiff but not paid. Counts III and IV sought similar recoveries for vacation pay and car allowance respectively. The jury awarded a total of $15,937 on these three counts. Count V sought recovery of the last two weeks pay which was not paid to plaintiff. The court directed a verdict for plaintiff on that count and no appeal was taken from that count. We affirm. Defendant's only point on appeal is that the trial court erred in precluding defendant from introducing evidence that plaintiff was terminated by his previous employer for acts of misconduct including stealing, drunkenness, and abusive conduct toward other employees.
