True to its promise last year, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (the “WHD”) continues to issue a steady stream of opinion letters designed to offer practical guidance to employers on specific wage and hour issues solicited by employers. This past week, the WHD issued two new opinion letters concerning the Fair Labor and Standards Act (“FLSA”), where one addresses an employer’s hourly pay methodology vis-à-vis the FLSA’s minimum wage requirement, and the other the ministerial exception to the FLSA. While not universally applicable, employers should consider the general principles set forth in these opinion letters, and then further research the underlying relevant regulations and the DOL’s interpretive guidance to more fully understand the basic requirements to ensure legal compliance.

It is the desire of almost every property investor to make their assets “sweat” by maximising the income available from them. One way investors achieve this is by granting leases of the airspace above their properties. Investors may, for example, lease the airspace to a developer who can help them improve the density of their building by adding a floor or more. Alternatively, the investor may lease the airspace to a tenant who will install telecommunications equipment or solar panels on the roof. This article presents the questions an investor has to ask before embarking on this route, as it is littered with potential issues. It assumes that you are an investor looking to lease airspace to a developer, to improve the density of your asset.
The introduction of European Union’s (“EU”) regulations on protection of natural persons with regard to processing of personal data and free movement of such data (“GDPR”) has brought on certain significant implications on Indian entities processing personal data of EU Residents. Basically, since GDPR has extra-territorial application and applies to processing of personal data of EU residents even by entities situated outside EU, Indian entities who are acting as either a ‘controller’ (i.e. the person who determines the purposes and means of the processing of data) or a ‘processor’ (i.e. the person who processes the personal data on behalf of the controller), of personal data of persons of EU, in relation to offering of goods or services to such persons or monitoring their behaviour in so far as it takes place within EU, become subject to GDPR.
