    P agreed to work for D for a year at $120 but left after 10 months. The trial court found P was owed $95 for work performed. The court held that while P did not complete the full contract, employers must compensate workers for the value of services received, so P was entitled to payment for the 10 months worked despite not completing the full year contract. The lower court's ruling in P's favor was affirmed.
