When to Retain an Expert Witness for Your Employment Law Case

Whenever a basic calculation doesn’t accurately determine compensation for an employment law case, it’s time to hire an expert. In fact, experts can analyze, explain, and establish several financial aspects of these cases, including (but not limited to):

  • Front pay: Calculating future lost earnings and explaining the methods involved in these calculations are crucial to establishing damages for front pay. This is especially true when awards are intended to cover several years of future lost earnings. In these cases, it’s important to consider that damages may need to be mitigated (discounted) by the interest that could be earned by investing any award provided.
  • Income stream comparisons: Experts can be pivotal to evaluating what would have been earned (if a plaintiff remained in a given job) versus what has been and will be earned (in light of the dismissal and any new job). This can also include the value of any benefits, bonuses, or other compensation that would have or has been earned.
  • Tax Adjustments: Any awards in employment matters are taxable. An award for back pay and/or future pay and benefits must be adjusted for the adverse tax effect of receiving the award and, with any mitigating income in the year of the award, paying a higher tax rate than would have been applied to income earned over a stream of years. Taxes on the award may include state and federal income taxes, Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes.
