Hypothetical question

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

forced to work through lunch breaks. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

NAL, but from what I've read which sucks, you should send a written demand. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.

Illustrative response

Make sure you're within the statute of limitations for your state.

Illustrative response

Check if your state has specific protections for this. Laws vary significantly.
