In Rooney v. Tyson. 91 N.Y.2d 685 (1998), the Court found that an agreement stating the plaintiff would be Mike Tyson's trainer "for as long as Tyson was a professional fighter," was an agreement with a definite duration because Tyson's boxing career was finite in duration. Rooney noted that over the years, New York courts have addressed the language of many employment agreements, and found terms such as "permanent," "continue indefinitely and will follow [the employee] in each succeeding year," "yearly," and a yearly employment for a specific salary, to establish only a hiring for an indefinite period (91 N.Y.2d at 691.) For instance, the dissent in Rooney noted that a promise to be employed for life or at least for "as long as the company remained in business," was nothing more than a promise that employment was to continue indefinitely ( Id. at 696.)
