Wage Theft in real estate — mass layoff without WARN Act notice

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

mass layoff without WARN Act notice. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks 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.

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

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.

I've dealt with this before.

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the FLSA and state wage laws, which requires showing compensable.

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

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.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
