Re: post pay formula

Let me talk about damages in general. This is a simple overview. I am not sure what you mean by post pay. There are two types of lost pay you might be eligable for. First are lost wages. That amount you would have earned from the date you lost your job until the date of judgment had there not been illegal discrimination, plus any company paid benefits you lost, minus any money you made from other employment in attempts to mitigate your loss. You have a duty to try and mitigate your losses. Do not subtract any unemployment compensation you may have received from your claim for lost wages. There is also something called front pay. An court award of front pay is possible, however, it is seldom granted. This would be awarded to a person who for some reason, such as the work place being hostile to the former employee, cannot return to the job they lost. It is meant to compensate one from the time of trial for the reasonable amount of time it should take them to find other employment. There are, of course, other types of damages one could ask for, such as punitive damages, depending on your complaint. I will leave those for another question.
