Illinois High Court Rules on Pre- and Post-Shift Wage and Hour Exclusion

A recent ruling by the Supreme Court of Illinois that the state’s minimum wage law does not incorporate the federal Portal-to-Portal Act’s (PPA) exclusion for “preliminary or postliminary” employee activities could open the door to a wave of new wage-and-hour lawsuits by employees over time spent undergoing health or security screenings or other required activities before and after their shifts.

Kinston woman arrested in months-long fraud investigation in Illinois

KINSTON, N.C. (WITN) – A Kinston woman is facing charges in Illinois after police say she redirected thousands of dollars from dozens of people to her bank accounts.

Police in Goodfield, Illinois, launched an investigation in November after a woman reported that someone had redirected approximately $8,300 of her paychecks to unknown bank accounts.

Police learned through search warrants that the accounts contained additional deposits from more than 30 victims totaling around $39,000.

Laylah Blount was identified as the suspect during the investigation.

Goodfield police traveled to North Carolina on March 30th and served a search warrant at Blount’s house with Kinston police.

Officers found Blount at the home and seized several electronics.

The 19-year-old was arrested and charged with aggravated identity theft, theft over $500 and fraudulent use of electronic transmissions.
