Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

forced to work through lunch breaks. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 10 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Illustrative response

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.
