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

employer monitoring personal phone. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

I've handled similar cases. 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.

I'd at least do a free phone consult with someone. Can't hurt.

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.

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.
