Description

An individual worked as a care coordinator at a youth advocacy organization for approximately two years before being terminated in December 2025, shortly after filing a complaint with upper management regarding unpaid overtime and disputed work hours. The employee alleges the termination was retaliatory, claiming the new supervisor falsified or mischaracterized allegations of misconduct—including unsubstantiated claims about confidentiality breaches, unauthorized persons during virtual meetings, and unprofessional conduct—none of which resulted in prior warnings. The former employee was paid a salary of approximately $47,000 annually and regularly worked overtime, creating potential wage and hour issues alongside potential retaliation claims.
