Re: Statute of Limitations
In the case of continuing discrimination, the statute runs from the last act which occurred in the pattern or course of conduct, regardless of how bad the conduct was. Generally, a person has one year to file a charge with the DFEH or EEOC from the last date on which he/she was a victim of the discrimination.
