Non-Compete Agreement Enforceability in North Carolina

I've been trying to resolve this in North Carolina on my own but I'm stuck.

denied overtime for 6 months. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

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.
