Non-Compete Agreement Enforceability in Virginia

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

commission payments suddenly stopped. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
