Hypothetical question

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

fired while on medical leave. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Illustrative response

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.

Illustrative response

Not gonna lie, have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Illustrative response

Important to note: statutes of limitations vary by state. In California it's generally 4 years for written contracts and 2 years for oral contracts. Don't wait too long to take action or you might be time-barred.
