Severance Package Review — remote worker being told to relocate or resign

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

remote worker being told to relocate or resign. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is exempt and I do 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.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

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.

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.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

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

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the FLSA and state wage laws, which requires showing compensable.

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

I've dealt with this before.
