frustrated_trader_GA OP

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

remote worker being told to relocate or resign. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 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 practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

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

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

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 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.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
