Jessica Jackler Secures Summary Judgment Victory

Congratulations to Income Member Jessica Jackler on securing summary judgment in Illinois!

The case involved complex alleged violations of the Illinois Wage Payment Collection Act (IWPCA) and tortious interference. One of the key wage-related issues was whether the IWPCA applied to Plaintiff’s claims for post-termination paid administrative leave. The court agreed with Jessica’s arguments and statutory interpretations that the IWPCA only applies to earned compensation in exchange for the rendering of services to an employer. In this case, it was undisputed that the Plaintiff had not performed work for the employer since 2017.

This ruling marks a significant victory and a positive resolution for our clients who were facing multiple legal claims from this Plaintiff.
