Supreme Court allows claim when better pay regulation applies after manager removal before termination.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for additional compensation and remanded the case for a new decision. The plaintiff, a former board member turned chief accountant, argued that a new, more favorable pay regulation should apply during the period between her removal from the board and her subsequent termination. The court agreed that while the new regulation technically applied, the lower court failed to compare its terms against her original employment contract to determine if they were indeed more beneficial. Consequently, the case was sent back to the district court for a proper assessment of the pay disparity.
