Recent Case Development

Another Form of Unpaid Wages - Miscalculation of PTO and Delayed Salary Increase After Promotion


We have advised a client life science company with a smooth department shut down and layoff of its entire staff. We offered sound advice to ward off challenges from a few senior staff on potential wages owed as a result of problematic tracking and communication of paid time off. The wage claim also arose from a delayed salary increase following an employee's promotion. The takeaway of this client's avoidable problem is that any employer should adopt a clear policy on how paid vacation time is calculated and tracked. The status should be communicated with employees in writing on a timely basis. The employer should implement the pay increase on the next payroll date following the employee's promotion.



Professional Community Engagement 


In the beginning of May, Attorney Yun Cheng and Connie Dai attended the 3rd CALF (Chinese American Lawyer Forum) Conference in Seattle where Lion's Law was a proud bronze sponsor.

On April 29, 2026, Lion's Law coordinated and hosted a delegation of Chinese lawyers for a guided tour of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, the highest court in the Commonwealth. Associate Justice Frank Gaziano warmly greeted the group and shared his thoughts on the importance of judicial impartiality, particularly during the challenging times.

最新案件进展

另一种形式的欠薪——PTO(带薪休假)计算错误及晋升后加薪延迟


我们近期协助一家生命科学企业顺利完成部门关闭及全员裁员工作。在项目过程中,我们为客户提供了专业法律建议,成功帮助其应对部分高级员工提出的潜在欠薪主张。相关争议主要源于公司在带薪休假(PTO)记录和沟通方面存在管理缺陷,导致员工认为其应获得额外工资补偿。


此外,欠薪问题还涉及员工晋升后薪资调整未能及时落实。由于加薪未在晋升后的适当时间生效,员工据此主张公司拖欠工资差额。


本案例反映出一个原本可以避免的问题:雇主应建立清晰、透明的带薪休假计算和管理制度,并及时以书面形式向员工告知其休假余额及使用情况。同时,员工晋升后的薪资调整应在晋升后的下一发薪日正式生效,以降低劳动争议风险并确保合规运营。



专业社群与行业交流


今年5月初,承韵律师和 戴晨方律师参加了在西雅图举办的第三届美籍华人律师论坛(CALF)年会。作为本次大会的铜牌赞助商,Lion's Law 很荣幸支持这一汇聚法律专业人士的重要行业盛会,并积极参与专业交流与合作。

2026年4月29日,Lion's Law 协调并接待了来自中国的律师代表团,组织其参观马萨诸塞州最高司法法院(SJC)。SJC 副大法官 Frank Gaziano 热情接待了代表团成员,并围绕司法独立、公正审判以及法院在复杂社会环境中的重要作用进行了交流与分享。此次参访为中美法律专业人士之间的交流与相互了解提供了宝贵机会。
