Orkin Exterminating Co. v. Dauer

McMurray, Judge.

Thomas G. Dauer was employed from November 1971, until September 30,1974, by Orkin Exterminating Company, Inc. in an "in-house” advertising department of Orkin, in the creation and production of advertising materials for use primarily by Orkin. Orkin contends Dauer was terminated as of September 30, 1974, but during the month of October thereafter he would be paid his regular salary as a free lance person.
