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

company not paying final paycheck. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 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?

So this is more common than people think.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Here's where people usually go wrong is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
