Royal attorneys successfully obtained summary judgment for a large corporation in Hampden Superior Court. Plaintiff claimed a violation of the Massachusetts Wage Act and breach of good faith and fair dealing in relation to a bonus that Plaintiff alleged was owed to him. Defendants had a policy in place that made this bonus completely discretionary and only owed if the Plaintiff stayed with the Defendants through a certain date. Discretionary bonuses are outside the purview of the Massachusetts Wage Act. Defendants argued these points and the Hampden Superior Court ruled that this discretionary bonus was not under purview of the Massachusetts Wage Act and not payable to the Plaintiff. Therefore, the Court granted Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing all counts in favor of the Defendants.
