Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The #1 mistake I see here is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 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.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
