Hypothetical question

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

unpaid internship at for-profit company. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

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

Illustrative response

Small claims court update: filed my case, hearing is in 6 weeks. The filing fee was only $75 and I don't need a lawyer. The court clerk was actually very helpful in explaining the process. If your claim is under $10K (or $12.5K in some states), small claims is the way to go.

Illustrative response

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