State ex rel. Barlow v. Dallas County Court

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that agreed-upon profit sharing “fall[s] within [RSA 275:42, Ill’s] reference to compensation calculated on some ‘other basis’” notwithstanding that the profit-sharing agreement “did not provide a stated date or certain time for payment of the share”
• remanding for a determination of willfulness based on court’s holding that disputed sums constituted wages under statute
• construing the phrase “willfully and without good cause” in the employment context “as a single phrase meaning voluntarily” because “it is difficult to imagine a case in which it would be fair and just for an employer to withhold wages at the same time that he acts willfully”
• court must award fees when it finds a wage claim meritorious, unless it finds particular facts that would render such an award inequitable
• employer contributions to profit-sharing plan constitute wage payments
• employee suit for unpaid wages
