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

pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 14 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 not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the FLSA and state wage laws. Your state may provide additional protections.

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

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 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.
