Looking for advice on a legal issue in Illinois. Here's what happened.

severance offer seems low. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
