I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

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

What trips people up most is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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've dealt with this before.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Ok so i think half the threads here are about this exact issue.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol
