Sharon Lerch is a paralegal and the Office Administrator in the Northampton County's Solicitor's office. And she's suing both the County and Human Resources Director Amy Trapp. Exactly why is unclear. Courthouse records indicate she filed what is known as a writ of summons on February 15. But there's no Complaint, so the exact basis of her lawsuit is unclear. The only thing known for sure is that it is an employment dispute.
Lerch was seriously injured in an automobile accident several years ago when a car ran into her as she crossed the street from the courthouse to her own car. She still walks with a limp.
She is being represented in this matter by Attorney Karl Longenbach, who himself is the former NorCo Solicitor.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
She was still working at ~6:30 PM and never was paid for the OT from that day or others.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't punch in so she wasn't on the books.
ReplyDeleteEmployers forbidding employees from filling time sheets is common practice out here in the private world. They put them on salary, work them 70 hours a week, plus on-call...be nice if something could be done. It's not just the OT but if you get hurt you can't even prove you're there.
ReplyDeleteWas she injured in the crosswalk that is now disguised with black paint?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but I do not remember which Crosswalk.
ReplyDeleteAt 12:56 AM - yes
ReplyDeleteThat is a very dangerous crosswalk. I almost got hit in it several times. When leaving the courthouse and crossing the street toward voter registration there is a big blind spot to your left because of Easton parking meters being allowed. The other factor is piss poor driving by the people using that area.
ReplyDeleteAt 2:43 AM - I agree but John Brown, the one who states that employees are the number one asset, had it painted over in black so the County can't be sued. Jerk!
ReplyDeleteI understand we got some leftover blue paint that's being used for safety paint elsewhere, perhaps we could get some at the crosswalk.
ReplyDeleteCheck with the city this is not a legal crosswalk. That is why is was painted over.
