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

commission payments suddenly stopped. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 6 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

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 practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the FMLA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct qualifying and covered.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
