Walking the FMLA & ADA Tightrope with Toxic Employees
February 22, 2023
In the interest of equity and equality for all should the rules apply to everyone? Shouldn’t I be able to discipline employees who have a protected status or are in a protected classification when they act out or violate policies?
Yes. Yes, you should and you can.

Our attorneys successfully obtained summary judgment in favor of the Defendant from the Massachusetts Appeals Court in a Wage Act and contract dispute. The Complainant alleged entitlement to a substantial variable compensation award following resignation. We demonstrated that the compensation plan made such awards discretionary and contingent on continued employment at the time of payout. The Appeals Court agreed, finding that the award did not constitute wages under the Wage Act and that the Defendant acted lawfully in denying payment. All claims were dismissed in their entirety.
