I'm dealing with a situation in North Carolina and need some guidance.
wrongfully accused of misconduct. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 10 years. My position is non-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?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
Real talk: i've dealt with this before.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead tbh.
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.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
What trips people up most is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Every situation is different so YMMV.
