2013.01.25Chawrun v Bell Mobility Inc2013 BCSC 102385.7Salespersons
Account executive"The account executive was expected to spend most of his or her time out in the territory, calling on potential customers and attempting to sell equipment and services to those customers. Once a potential customer had been identified, the account executive could call on Bell’s marketing department to assist in putting together a specific proposal for that potential customer...Mr. Chawrun’s job was essentially a sales job; not a management or executive position. As account executive, Mr. Chawrun headed a team that included three other Bell employees (or two and one-half employees as Ms. Del Rosario also worked for Ms. Stack), but he did not have the authority or responsibility to hire or fire these employees and they did not “report” to him in the sense that he was their immediate superior. The sales associates reported to a sales associates team leader; and then to Mr. Spencer. There is no evidence that Mr. Chawrun had the authority to discipline these employees or was responsible for formally evaluating their job performance. In the offer of employment made to him on June 17, 2008, there is no reference to any supervisory or managerial duties."
