I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
employer withholding tips. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Important to note: statutes of limitations vary by state. In California it's generally 4 years for written contracts and 2 years for oral contracts. Don't wait too long to take action or you might be time-barred.
