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

employer monitoring personal phone. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is non-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?

I've dealt with this before.

Here's where people usually go wrong is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

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.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

This is really helpful which is wild, thank you. I've been dealing with a similar situation and didn't know where to start. Saved this thread for reference no cap.

Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's not worth litigating, even if you're in the right. If the disputed amount is $500 and attorney fees would be $3,000, consider whether the principle is worth the cost. Write-off the loss and learn from it.
