Anyone here gone through wrongfully accused of misconduct?

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?

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

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 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.

Classic scenario honestly.

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

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.

Not gonna lie, i went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented 🤷.

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

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.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

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

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
