Unemployment Benefits Denied in Indiana — supervisor making racist comments

I'm dealing with a situation in Indiana and need some guidance.

supervisor making racist comments. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

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.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the FMLA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct qualifying and covered.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
