Practice point: If there is an employment agreement which identifies plaintiff's title, salary, estimated start date, vacation days, and benefits, parol evidence is inadmissible to vary its terms.
Practitioners should note that since the agreement controls, plaintiff may not recover under a quasi-contractual theory.
