Hypothetical question

English isn't my first language so bear with me. I've been trying to resolve this in North Carolina on my own but I'm stuck.

remote worker being told to relocate or resign. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 12 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the FMLA, qualifying and covered.

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