US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit Opinions | Knous v. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. | Docket: 20-1617 Opinion Date: March 25, 2021 Judge: William Joseph Kayatta, Jr. Areas of Law: Labor & Employment Law | The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court granting summary judgment in favor of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. and dismissing Plaintiff's lawsuit claiming a violation of the Massachusetts Wage Act, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 149, 148, 150, holding that the district court did not err. Plaintiff claimed that Broadbridge failed to make timely payment under the Act, arguing that, as a matter of statutory interpretation, the day an employee is discharged from employment under the Wage Act is the day the employee is told to stop performing work for his employer. The district court disagreed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the day of discharge is the time for a final accounting and payment, the day of an employee's official discharge. | |
