Hypothetical question

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 15 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 not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Illustrative response

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.

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

Illustrative response

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

Don't make the same mistake I did -- is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Illustrative response

Check if your state has specific protections for this. Laws vary significantly.

I went through something similar. The waiting period for the labor board was about 3 months.
