Chapter:
7
Date of Decision:
May 6, 2002
Issue:
Whether promised payments intended to "make up the difference" between what an individual had made working for a debtor and what the individual would make working for another employer are "wages, salaries, or commissions" entitled to priority under 11 U.S.C. § 507(a)(3)?
Ruling:
Absent evidence of an ongoing "employer-employee" or "master/servant" relationship, promised payments intended to "make up the difference" between what an individual had made working for a debtor and what the individual would make working for another employer are not "wages, salaries, or commissions" entitled to priority under 11 U.S.C. § 507(a)(3).
