Meal & Rest Break Violations in New Jersey

I'm dealing with a situation in New Jersey and need some guidance.

asked to sign non-compete after 3 years. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 years. My position is non-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?

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.

I'd push back on the "at-will" argument. At-will doesn't mean they can fire you for illegal reasons. If there's a discriminatory motive, that's actionable regardless of at-will status.
