MORGANTOWN — A physician is suing West Virginia University Board of Governors alleging he was due incentive wages he was not paid.
WVU Medical Corporation was also named as a defendant in the suit.
Dr. Koshy Mathai claims he was promised an incentive wage structure when he was hired in 2012, however, he was not provided with the earned incentive wages as promised and he sent several emails and requested that the agreement be honored, however, they were never addressed and he resigned in December, according to a complaint filed in Monongalia Circuit Court.
Mathai claims after he resigned, he again asked about the status of the incentive wages that were due from his employment and was told he wasn't due anything.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their contract with him and made promises to get him to accept employment and did not provide on those promises.
Mathai is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. He is represented by Sean W. Cook of Charleston.
