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?

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 went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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.

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

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under OSHA regulations, a safety violation.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

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.
