Unemployment Benefits Denied in Colorado — competing offer triggered retaliation

I'm in a difficult situation in Colorado and trying to figure out my next steps.

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

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.

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

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 FMLA, which requires showing qualifying and covered.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

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

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

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.
