Hypothetical question

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 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Illustrative response

Just wanted to update — I was in a similar situation and the state labor board ruled in my favor after about 4 months. They ordered back wages plus penalties. Don't give up.

Illustrative response

I consulted with three different employment attorneys before finding one who would take my case on contingency. Don't get discouraged if the first one says no — each lawyer evaluates risk differently.
