Hypothetical question

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

wrongfully accused of misconduct. I've been dealing with this for about 9 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.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Your state department of labor might handle this faster than a lawsuit. In California, the Labor Commissioner can issue penalties pretty quickly.
