Description
For those unfamiliar with the rules, filing a discrimination lawsuit in federal court is fraught with risk. Even before filing a lawsuit, a plaintiff must be sure to first file a charge of discrimination with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 300 days of the act of discrimination. Upon receiving a right to sue letter from the EEOC, a plaintiff must then diligently file suit within 90 days. Miss that deadline and your client's opportunity is lost. Even if the original 300-day window is still open, the plaintiff who missed the 90-day deadline cannot file a second charge of discrimination with the EEOC relating to the same discriminatory conduct. This article looks at the continuing impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's Ledbetter case on filing deadlines for acts of employment discrimination--impact that continues in the wake of the Ledbetter Act--and at the strict 90-day deadline for filing suit after receiving a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC.
