More details to this question:
My employer decided that if the entire sales staff as a whole did not reach a projected gross profit that no sales person would get bonus even if an individual did achieve or exceed same projection.

If the employer made a binding commitment to pay a bonus based on individual performance, it can't back out. But it certainly can set the condition in the first place that no bonuses will be paid unless group goals are met.
