An update to the exemption blog
If your exemption is denied, you will be threatened to be fired. This is not the end of the road. For your sake, and for all the rest of us, you must be willing to litigate. You can easily find a plaintiff’s employment law attorney who has faith in your case and will take you on contingency (meaning they will collect 30% of your winnings plus fees as their payment if you win), but the first step is mediating at the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission local to your town. EEOC mediation costs you nothing, so don’t let yourself down by skipping it. If the EEOC believes in your case, they will say so, and if it’s a great case, they’ll even take it on.
