I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
fired while on medical leave. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 7 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
Classic scenario honestly.
In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.
If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.
Honestly, 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.
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.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
