Thanks, I believe this is the most appropriate translation in this case, because she alleges she was unfairly terminated, and she is requesting lost wages from the date of termination to the day the Court decides

  -> Henry, you could be correct...To me it doesn't appear to be for wages that haven't been received, but she is suing for reduction of wages (or for wages that were stopped-that she is no longer receiving for some reason!!!)-Thanks!

salary (wages) due


Explanation:
Son salarios que no le han pagado y que el patrón le debe por sus servicios prestados.

Más vale que pague, pues en muchos países es muy penado no pagarle a un empleado.

neutral  Juan Jacob: No exactamente, al menos en México. Un empleado en huelga reclama aumento de sueldo, etc. y el pago de sueldos caídos, es decir, el pago de su sueldo aún y cuando estuvo en huelga. Ni idea en inglés. Saludos, señor.

  -> Precisamente a México me refiero, y en inglés son como digo, aunque también le encuentro razón a Cynthia, según el CONTEXTO, que puede variar y que no conocemos.

backpay


Explanation:
Reference: Tom West's Dictionary

Definitions by:
Barron's Dictionary of Business Terms:
Salaries and wages from a prior pay period.

Backpay award. A judicial or quasi-judicial body's decision that an employee or ex-employee is entitled to accrued, but uncollected wates or benefits. Some times shortened to "backpay".

Hope this helps
