This Law Firm Publication by McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton, PA discusses the August 12, 2013 decision in Lipsitt v. Plaud, where the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court found that the Massachusetts Wage Act does not pre-empt a plaintiff's ability to bring other common law claims arising out of the non-payment of wages. The holding is viewed as a victory for employees who wish to pursue claims related to employee wage actions but may not pursue such claims within the Wage Act's three year statute of limitations provision.
