Good Georgia Employment Lawyers secured a major victory for Piedmont University professor Robert Wainberg, prevailing on his breach of employment tenure contract claim and obtaining bad faith damages. The verdict holds Piedmont University accountable for failing to honor the contractual protections that accompany tenure and reinforces that even universities must follow the agreements they make with their employees. This result underscores a core principle of Georgia employment law: when employers breach written contracts in bad faith, courts can—and will—award additional damages to ensure fairness and accountability.
