We recently secured summary judgment as to liability for our client who was evicted and rendered homeless because she was denied a reasonable accommodation for her disability in violation of the Fair Housing Act. Our client was just 12 years old at the time of the eviction.

President Biden's final rule expanding overtime protections for millions of the nation’s lower-paid salaried workers by increasing the salary thresholds required to exempt a salaried executive, administrative or professional employee from overtime pay goes into effect today!

[Sinapi Law Associates, Ltd. @SinapiLaw]

On April 23, 2024, the U.S. DOL finalized a substantial update to overtime rules, raising the standard salary threshold for exempt employees and highly compensated employees, meaning overtime eligibility, for an estimated 4 million salaried workers.
