Brief Supports Motion to Compel Receiver to Pay Urgent Payroll Deductions Vermont Business Magazine Attorney General TJ Donovan today filed an amicus brief in support of the Koffee Kup, et al. Emergency Motion to Compel Receiver to Pay Urgent Payroll Deductions. At issue is the refusal of Koffee Kup’s court-appointed receiver and Key Bank to pay $797,568.17 in accrued paid time off (PTO) obligations to employees after the business closed in April. In its brief, the state argues that the Court should compel the receiver and Key Bank to pay employees for the accrued PTO based on Vermont law. “Koffee Kup employees earned these wages and this money should be paid back to them,” said Attorney General Donovan.
