I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
forced to work through lunch breaks. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 2 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?
Been there. Here's what I learned.
Here's where people usually go wrong is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
Have you filed a complaint with the labor board yet? That's usually the first step.
Did you get anything in writing from HR? That's usually key evidence.
