Wage deficiency means the difference between the amount required by law to be paid and the amount actually paid to an employee. History: 1975 c. 380, 421; 1989 a. 44; 1995 a. 27 s. 9130 (4); 1997 a. 3, 39, 237; 2003 a. 63. "Wages" does not include salary owed under a fixed term contract to a discharged employee for the period from the discharge to the end of the contract. DILHR v. Coatings, Inc. 126 Wis.2d 338, 375 N.W.2d 834 (1985). Sub. (3) includes vacation pay, supplemental unemployment benefit plan payments, severance pay or dismissal pay as wages. Sub. (3) does not require that the employee perform actual work during the time period for which he is making a wage claim. Such a requirement would foreclose any employees' wage claims for vacation pay, supplemental unemployment benefit plan payments, severance pay, or dismissal pay because in each case the employee is not performing actual work during the time period of the claim. Sliwinski v. City of Milwaukee, 2009 WI App 162, Wis.2d , 777 N.W.2d 88, 08-2141.
