I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

denied reasonable accommodation for disability. I've been dealing with this for about 15 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 not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

Just wanted to add — I went through almost the exact same thing last year. What finally resolved it for me was sending a formal demand letter via certified mail. Once they realized I was serious and had documentation, they settled within 2 weeks.

In my experience, most employers settle once they realize you're serious about pursuing this.

Did you get anything in writing from HR? That's usually key evidence.

Document everything. Emails, texts, pay stubs - all of it. You'll need this if it goes to litigation.
