The Supreme Judicial Court ruled that employees who brought a successful class action against their employer for violation of the Wage Act are entitled to statutory pre-judgment interest on their lost pay and benefits.

The ruling could promote faster settlement of Wage Act claims because it may impact an employer’s decision about how long they want to defend a wage dispute before settling the case.
