Meal & Rest Break Violations in North Carolina

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?

Following this thread — Following this thread -- same thing is happening to me right now.

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.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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.

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

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.
