I'm dealing with a situation in Maryland and need some guidance.
gig company reclassifying workers. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 12 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
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.
For anyone in California: look into the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA). It allows employees to file lawsuits on behalf of the state for Labor Code violations. The penalties can be substantial and it's a powerful tool that's unique to California.
