What is Front Pay?
Front Pay is a monetary compensation awarded to an employee in lieu of reinstatement or back pay when they are unable to return to their former job, often due to a legal settlement or court decision. This payment is intended to cover the wages the employee would have earned if they had been employed, typically for a period until they secure a new job or are reinstated. Front pay is often used as a remedy in cases involving wrongful termination, discrimination, or violation of employment rights.
