Case: Individual Employment Rights/Whistleblowing (N.D. Ill.)

An Illinois federal district court granted summary judgment to Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. on a commercial real estate broker’s whistleblower retaliation claims under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Taxpayer First Act, and Fair Labor Standards Act claim, finding her belief that JLL engaged in shareholder fraud was not objectively reasonable because the amount at issue was immaterial, and she qualified as a highly compensated employee exempt from FLSA overtime requirements because she performed administrative duties including negotiating sales.
