Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 2 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
What's the typical outcome in situations like this?
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the FLSA and state wage laws, compensable.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
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.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
I've dealt with this before.
In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
I've dealt with this before.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
