Hypothetical question

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

fired while on medical leave. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 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?

Illustrative response

Ok so i've dealt with this before.

A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Illustrative response

This is a great example of why reading the terms of service matters. I know it's tedious, but at minimum, check: (1) arbitration clauses, (2) liability limitations, (3) auto-renewal provisions, (4) cancellation procedures, and (5) class action waivers. These 5 sections tell you most of what you need to know.
