Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

employer changed my status to contractor. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have Title VII years for this type of claim.

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