Re: Employment ontract violation
The limitations period for contract disputes is usually six years. However, the contracts that define many employment relationships frequently provide for dispute resolution procedures that impose shorter periods. The courts will frequently honor these procedures if that can be done without upsetting the contractual intent.
The law of limitations period is not as simple as it sounds. If you think that you may have an dispute, your best course is to bring it to your lawyer as soon as you know about the claim.
