Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Sexual Harrassment Statute of Limitations
What is the statute of limitations to bring forth a sexual harrassment case
against an employer in Florida? Does it differ from what it is against anybody
else vs. an employer or is the timeframe the same no matter who is
involved? Thank you very much.

Re: Sexual Harrassment Statute of Limitations
This is a complex area which depends on the specific facts. Generally, you have 300 days to file an charge of discrimination based upon sexual harassment with the EEOC or one year with the Florida Commission on Human Rights. You may have other claims with longer time periods if the harasser was not the employer. You cannot rely upon this general answer to determine your time limitations - you need to seek consultation with an employment law attorney to get specific guidance

Bonnie's answer is right on point. 300 days is the guide, but act is quickly as possible in speaking to an attorney who specializes in the area. For further assistance, please contact an attorney immediately.
