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

foreign tax credit calculation. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

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.

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.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

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

I've dealt with this before.

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

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

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