Employer Illegally Withheld Our Client’s Benefits and Final 2 Days Wages, Resulting in an Additional $134,167.12 in Statutory Penalties and Attorney Fees

At trial, the court correctly found our client, a corporate controller, was owed $2,164.58 for her last 2 days of work, as well as her 10 unused PTO days. This LWPA violation resulted in another $134,167.12 in statutory penalties and attorney fees.

The trial court’s judgment noted that “Louisiana Health Care Consultants, LLC (“LHCC”) and Bob G. Dean are in violation of the Louisiana Wage Payment Act (“LWPA”), La. R.S. 23:631, et seq., for their continued refusal to pay” our client’s due wages.
