Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

remote worker being told to relocate or resign. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

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

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.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under Title VII, discriminatory.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

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.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
