Idk but i'm dealing with a situation in Georgia and need some guidance.

unpaid internship at for-profit company. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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

The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
