Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[w]e do not agree with FRI that its commission payment schedule (as reflected in [its policy]) relates to when commissions are earned; rather, it simply establishes when they are to be paid. Because the WPCA mandates payments of earned wages within 72 hours of discharge, FRI’s reliance on the payment schedule, and its consequential payment of the June commissions and the early July commissions more than 72 hours after termination, runs afoul of the WPCA.”
