Arbitration in Wage and Hour Case and Resulting Court Judgement on Counterclaims Related to Fraudulent Activity

Conducted a three-day arbitration in a wage and hour case brought by a former mortgage loan originator.  In the complaint, the former employee claimed that he was improperly denied commissions after he was terminated.  Although the arbitrator found that the employee was due commissions under the company’s policies, we obtained a ruling that the employer operated in good faith, and therefore was not liable for double damages under the FLSA. Also obtained a judgment against the employee on the employer’s counterclaims related to other commissions the employee had fraudulently obtained during his employment.
