Recovering Back Pay, Front Pay and Other Damages
The primary remedy attorney Oliver seeks is back pay, and in some cases he negotiates for front pay, and compensatory or punitive damages. Here are some important details to consider:
- Back pay is often recovered from the date of termination to the date of the settlement or jury decision.
- If you held a position of considerable responsibility, it is often plausible to seek front pay, or future earnings. It is generally recognized that people at a higher level may have difficulty finding comparable employment for six months, up to two years or longer.
- Under special circumstances, you may be able to recover compensatory damages for pain and suffering. This requires documenting serious medical consequences from your termination, such as severe depression.
- If your employer has violated your rights intentionally or maliciously, you may also be entitled to punitive damages to discourage such incidents.
