Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation in Michigan — any input appreciated.

wrongfully accused of misconduct. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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

Classic scenario honestly.

The thing that gets people is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Yeah following this thread — Are you me? Literally going through this rn lol.

Dealt with this exact thing last year.

Here's where people usually go wrong is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Look, have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services tbh.
