I'm dealing with a situation in Virginia and need some guidance.

hostile work environment complaint ignored. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 6 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?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said every case is different so take this with a grain of salt.

For those on a budget: many state bar associations have lawyer referral services that offer initial consultations for $35-50. Also look into your local legal aid organization if your income qualifies. You don't have to navigate this alone.
