Employment Claim in Maryland

Maryland law caps the total amount an employee can recover in a wage-related employment claim at $0. This figure is set by Md. Code Ann., State Gov't § 20-606, which governs the administrative remedy available through the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights. The statute provides that no monetary damages, back pay, or other compensatory award may be ordered in such a claim. The rule applies to claims filed under this specific statutory provision, and the official source at the Maryland General Assembly website lists any applicable exceptions or factors. The worked example below demonstrates how the $0 cap applies in a typical scenario. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your own claim’s potential result.
