Re: previous sex,age discrimination and harassment
Yes, there is a statue of limitations and it expires under federal law on the 180 days following the last discriminatory event. The limitation period is extended to 1 year with the intersection of federal and state laws. Please note that anti-discrimination laws prohibit discrimination by an employer and they cannot be used for personal action against an employee.
