A recently resolved employment contract dispute ended with a media executive being awarded $406,000 — a sum roughly $1 million less than what he’d asserted his employment contract had promised. The misunderstanding and subsequent court case make clear that high earners need to ensure contract clarity when negotiating an exit package.

I will be arguing before the New Jersey Supreme Court on Monday morning February 3 at 10 a.m. on behalf of amicus NELA-NJ for the case of Musker v. Suuchi, Inc. The subject of the argument is whether commissions that are paid on a tiered basis or in addition to salary are protected under the New Jersey Wage Payment Law. The Plaintiff’s attorney is fellow NELA-NJ colleague, Bruce Atkins, who will be arguing on behalf on Ms. Musker. Like NELA-NJ, The New Jersey Attorney General has submitted an amicus brief and will be arguing on behalf of the State of New Jersey that the commissions should be protected by the WPL. Other amicus briefs supporting Ms. Musker were filed by Seton Hall University School of Law Center for Social Justice and NJAJ (our colleague Ravi Sattiraju). This should be a lively and interesting argument. It is always a special privilege to argue at the Supreme Court. It will be simulcast at the link below and you can read the briefs there:

My partner, Adam Schorr, testified on December 5th, 2024 at the Senate Labor Committee on behalf of NELA-NJ to support S2852, an unemployment Bill by Senator Greenstein that would increase the maximum time period between when the employee leaves work and when the subsequent work is scheduled to commence from seven days to 10 days. Previously, the Legislature had fixed the “black hole” where an employee who quit a job to take a better job, but then lost the job before re-establishing 10 weeks of works, the employee would be ineligible for benefits. We were instrumental in getting that change through the Legislature. Then, the Supreme Court in McClain v. Board of Review, 237 N.J. 445 (2019), in which we were amicus counsel for NELA-NJ on support of South Jersey Legal Services, held that even if the new job is rescinded before starting, the employee would still be eligible for benefits.

The decision by Judge Ada Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas represents a significant disappointment for workers who’ve felt trapped by the controversial restrictive covenants, but there’s still hope, especially for those living in states like New Jersey that have already passed laws restricting the enforceability of these agreements.
