Hypothetical question

EDIT: added more context below. I'm dealing with a situation in Maryland and need some guidance.

denied overtime for 6 months. I've been dealing with this for about 11 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.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Here's my take on the legal issues honestly.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under OSHA regulations. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct a safety violation.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
