Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
fired while on medical leave. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the FLSA and state wage laws, compensable.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
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.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
