Warning: pTO Payout on Termination: Texas Law

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

denied reasonable accommodation for disability. I've been dealing with this for about 11 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 not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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.

Fwiw my neighbor dealt with this and said the lawyer made it go away fast.

Every time I see a post like this...

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation though.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
