Meal & Rest Break Violations in Michigan

Looking for advice on a legal issue in Michigan. Here's what happened.

pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks 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 my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

The trap most people fall into is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead no cap.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

I spent way more time googling than I should have before just calling a lawyer.

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.

Real talk: i went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

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

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the FMLA, qualifying and covered.

I'd at least do a free phone consult with someone. Can't hurt.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
