In the state of Michigan, what does the term "in lieu" mean?
A friend of mine was recently wrongfully let go from her job and the final check they gave her had part of the amount listed as "in lieu". Can she cash the check or does "in lieu" mean that if she signs and cashes the check, she loses all rights to take action against her former employer?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
