Has anyone dealt with something like this in Ohio? I'm not sure what my options are.

mass layoff without WARN Act notice. 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 non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

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 specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the FMLA, qualifying and covered.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
