Aaron would be entitled to damages for the difference between his original contract and his new contract for the remaining two years of his original contract, which amounts to $170,000. Additionally, he would be entitled to compensation for the six-month period in which he was unemployed, which amounts to $17,500 (calculated as half of his previous annual salary). Therefore, the total award would be $187,500. Adding this to his current salary of $90,000 results in a total of $260,000.
