The following excerpt is from Gerstenbluth v. Credit Suisse Sec. (USA) LLC, (2nd Cir. 2013):
6. Back pay consists of wages lost between the plaintiff's wrongful termination and the entry of the court's judgment. See Banks v. Travelers Cos., 180 F.3d 358, 364 (2d Cir. 1999). Front pay is wages lost between judgment and the plaintiff's reinstatement, or, if reinstatement is not feasible, it is a reasonable award "of future lost earnings." Id.
