Worker Misclassification as Independent Contractor — Age Discrimination

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

denied overtime for 6 months. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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 went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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.
