I'm in a difficult situation in New Jersey and trying to figure out my next steps.

forced to work through lunch breaks. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 years. My position is 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?

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

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