CHARLESTON - A lawsuit filed by a former employee against BE&K Construction Company LLC was settled dismissed with prejudice five months after it was filed in 2011.
Craig Baldwin was employed by BE&K until his employment was terminated on Dec. 21, 2010, according to a complaint filed Feb. 3, 2011 in Kanawha Circuit Court.
Baldwin claimed BE&K failed to pay his final employment wages owed in full within 72 hours of terminating his employment, which violated the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act.

On June 29, 2011, a Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice was filed.
BE&K was represented by Craig W. Snethen of Jackson Lewis LLP.
The case was assigned to Circuit Judge Louis H. Bloom.
