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

pay cut without notice. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I practice in this area. 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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
