I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

denied reasonable accommodation for disability. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 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?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the FLSA and state wage laws, which requires showing compensable.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

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.

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.
