Case: Individual Employment Rights/Wrongful Discharge (C.D. Ill.)

An Illinois federal district court partially granted a former employee’s motion for prejudgment interest following a jury verdict awarding him $57,500 in backpay damages, ruling that interest should run from his termination date through the date damages were ascertained by jury verdict rather than through the date of his damages schedule filing, and awarding $22,200.22 in prejudgment interest at a 6% rate while rejecting the defendant’s arguments to limit the interest period.
