I previously wrote about the class action brought against Heller Ehrman by a group of former employees (a copy of that post can be found here); well, now a former associate is suing Heller over unpaid wages and vacation time.
David Simon began work at Heller in 2005. At the beginning of 2008 he was a third year associate and was entitled to 4 weeks paid vacation and a salary of $185,000. On September 26, Heller sent an email to Simon, among other employees, informing him that Heller would be dissolving and that he would be paid his full salary through November 28. But, on October 16 he received another email informing him that he would be terminated the following day.
Simon's suit alleges that he has not received payment for his 6 weeks of accrued vacation time and that he should receive his full salary for the period between October 17 (when he was terminated) and November 28 (the date he was initially supposed to work until).
A copy of Simon's complaint can be found here.
