Quick Glance: Biden Grants Overtime Pay to 4 Million US Workers

The Biden administration unveiled a rule requiring employers to pay overtime premiums to an estimated 4 million salaried workers earning less than $1,128 per week.

The salary threshold will be automatically adjusted every three years to reflect changes in average earnings.

The rule does not affect overtime requirements for hourly workers.

The new rule is expected to face legal challenges, with many businesses expressing concerns about economic uncertainty and labor shortages.

cnn.com/2024/04/11/business/truong-my-lan-vietnam-fraud-death-sentence/

Quick Glance: Death Sentence for Real Estate Tycoon in Vietnam's Largest Fraud Case

Truong My Lan, a prominent businesswoman and real estate tycoon, was sentenced to death in Vietnam's largest financial fraud case, marking a shocking development in the country's escalating anti-corruption campaign.

Born in 1956, Lan founded the Van Thinh Phat company with her family in 1992, which grew to become one of Vietnam's richest real estate firms linked to some of Ho Chi Minh's most valuable properties.

She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

Her arrest in October 2022 falls within a period of increased anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam ramping up since 2022, impacting the country's economic outlook and unsettling foreign investors.
