Employment Concerns In Michigan

Here’s a professional and clear draft to send to an employment attorney. It outlines your situation concisely and invites them to assess potential labor law violations or your legal standing: Subject: Request for Legal Consultation Regarding Employment Concerns Dear [Attorney’s Name], I am seeking guidance regarding a series of employment-related concerns at my current workplace in Michigan, and I would greatly appreciate your expertise in assessing potential labor law violations. Below is an overview of my situation: *. Role Misclassification and Responsibilities: • I was originally hired as a Project Management Administrator at $*,* annually. Over time, I was transitioned into a “Site Coordinator” role, which lacked a formal job description. • My current responsibilities far exceed the scope of the original Site Coordinator role, including: • Managing project finances and contractor documentation (MTAs, NDAs, and SOWs). • Handling HR-related tasks, such as planning events and coordinating project schedules. • Implementing and training employees on new project management software (Planview), despite no formal specialization in this area. • Despite these changes, I have not received an updated job title or compensation adjustment. *. Overtime Concerns: • My employer requires exempt employees to work * hours weekly before earning overtime pay, which effectively results in * hours of unpaid overtime each week. *. Lack of Job Description and Defined Scope: • When I transitioned to the Site Coordinator role, I was asked to create my own job description for another factory. To this day, I have not been provided with a defined scope of responsibilities. *. Compensation Disparities: • I recently declined a promotion to a new role (Front End of Business Coordinator) after the company refused to meet market standards for the position. I was offered only a *% salary increase, which brought my compensation to $*,*—far below the market rate of $*,*–$*,* for similar roles. *. Concerns About Compliance: • I have been assigned tasks that may fall outside of compliance boundaries, particularly with legal documentation and contractor oversight. I am concerned that these practices may violate labor laws, particularly regarding misclassification, overtime, and compensation for added responsibilities. I would like to understand my rights, potential claims, and the best course of action moving forward. Please let me know if you require additional information or documentation to evaluate my case. I am happy to provide detailed records of my responsibilities, communications with management, and any other relevant evidence.
