EEOC charge deadlines and continuing violations

In a deferral state, a Title VII charge must be filed within 300 days of the challenged employment action; the period begins when the employee receives clear notice of the decision, even if continued employment remains possible.

Watson v. Eastman Kodak Company · filed 2000-12-21(e)(1)

However, Gagnon’s letter cannot be deemed equivocal merely because it preserved the possibility of continued employment. ... Consequently, pursuant to Ricks, the District Court correctly held that Watson’s termination claim accrued on February 4, 1997, the date he received Gagnon’s letter. As a result, Watson’s discrimination discharge claim is untimely.

Section 2000e-5(e)(1) requires a Title VII charge in a state with a qualifying state agency to be filed within 300 days after the employee knew or reasonably should have known of the challenged act.

Baker v. Union Pacific Railroad Co. · filed 2001-02-01(e)(1)

Title VII provides a 300-day deadline for filing charges of discrimination in states such as Texas which have a state agency with authority similar to that of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”). ... The Fifth Circuit has held that “Congress intended the limitations period contained in § 2000e-5(e)(1) to act as a statute of limitations.” ... Plaintiffs Charges of Discrimination were filed more than 300 days after he knew or reasonably should have known that his employment was being terminated based on the alleged violation of Rule 1.6. As a result, Plaintiffs claims under Title VII for race discrimination and retaliation are time-barred.

The 300-day period for filing a discriminatory termination charge with the EEOC begins when the employee receives definite notice of termination.

Jordan v. Bates USA · filed 2001-02-16(e)(1)

Accordingly, the 300 day limitations period for filing plaintiffs discrimination claims began to run not, as the district court assumed, on March 11, 1995 (when plaintiff allegedly received the Termination Agreement and General Release), but earlier (when plaintiff was first clearly made aware of her forthcoming termination).

Section 2000e-5(e)(1) requires an administrative charge within 180 days if filed with the EEOC or 300 days if initially filed with a deferral agency; relation back does not save a claim when no alleged act occurred within the filing period.

Ihekwu v. City of Durham, NC · filed 2000-12-27(e)(1)

Under Title VII and the ADA, an administrative charge must be filed within 180 days if initially filed with the EEOC and within 300 days if initially filed with a deferral agency. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(l). ... Because the last specific event of harassment of which Plaintiff eomplains occurred sometime in early February 1997, and because Plaintiffs original charge is dated January 1998, Plaintiff did not allege a specific event of harassment within 180 days of the original charge. Thus, Plaintiffs hostile working environment claim is time-barred, despite its relation back.

In a deferral state, a plaintiff must file a discrimination charge within 300 days of the alleged unlawful employment practice.

Sharp, Bettina S. v. United Airlines Inc · filed 2001-01-02(e)(1)

According to statute, a plaintiff in a deferral state such as Illinois must file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or equivalent state agency within 300 days after the "alleged unlawful employment practice." 42 U.S.C. sec. 2000e-5(e)(1). ... Consequently, Ms. Sharp’s charge was untimely, and that untimeliness bars the present action.

Section 2000e-5(e) allows 180 days to file a discrimination charge; a charge filed after that period can support summary judgment.

Mellon v. Fed Express Corp. · filed 2001-02-12(e)

FedEx notes that the initial charge was filed more than a year after this alleged gender discrimination occurred, and long after the 180 days allowed for filing such a charge. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e). Plaintiff does not reply to this contention, which supports an alternate ground for affirming the grant of summary judgment on the gender discrimination claim.

A Title VII charge filed after an employee first seeks relief from a state agency is subject to a 300-day deadline, but earlier acts may be considered under the continuing violation exception.

Ramirez v. New York Presbyterian Hospital · filed 2001-02-15(e)(1)

The continuing violation exception may apply here for three reasons. ... Accordingly, defendants’ motion to dismiss the claims as time-barred is denied, and the Court shall consider all of the alleged incidents in its sexual harassment analysis.

Section 2000e-5(e)(1) requires a Title VII charge to be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the alleged discrimination, or within 300 days if the claimant first files with a state or local agency.

Ahmed v. Gelfand · filed 2001-03-05(e)(1)

Plaintiff filed a Notice of Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC in June 1998. The time that elapsed between the alleged incident and Plaintiffs EEOC complaint is well beyond the 180 days provided in Title VII. Plaintiffs Title VII claims are accordingly time-barred, and must, therefore, be dismissed.

Section 2000e-5(e) permits a hostile-work-environment claim to include related earlier harassment when the alleged pattern continued into the charge-filing period.

As a result, we find that Plaintiff has met her burden in showing a continuing violation with respect to Simco, McGuire, and Islam.

Section 2000e-5(e) sets deadlines for filing a Title VII discrimination charge, and the discovery rule starts the filing period when the claimant knows of the injury and its source.

Farag v. American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology, Inc. · filed 2001-03-27(e)

In this case, Farag discovered that he was injured in July 1994 when he received ABPN’s letter informing him that he had failed the oral section of the certification exam. Obviously, at the same time, he was aware that ABPN was the party responsible for failing him. Therefore, under the discovery rule, Farag had until January 1995 to file a claim with the PHRC and until July 1995 to file with the EEOC. As he did not, he is now time-barred from pursuing this claim.

Section 2000e-5(e) requires a Title VII retaliation charge to be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the challenged action, or within 300 days if the plaintiff has already filed with a state or local equal employment agency.

Ruggieri v. Harrington · filed 2001-03-30(e)

As an initial matter, under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e), a plaintiffs Title VII claims for retaliation are time-barred if they are not filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory actions, or 300 days if the plaintiff has already filed the charge with a state or local equal employment agency.

Law changed since National Railroad Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101 (2002), requires a timely charge for each discrete act, even when it is related to a later act; the earlier continuing-violation approach to repeated accommodation decisions does not govern those discrete acts.

Section 2000e-5 provides a 300-day charge-filing period for ADA disability discrimination claims through § 12117; the continuing violation doctrine permits consideration of earlier conduct when discrimination continues into that period.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Federal Express Corp. · filed 2001-04-06(e)(1)

Where the 300-day EEOC filing period applies, a discrete failure to promote outside that period cannot support Title VII liability or damages under the continuing violation doctrine.

Govia v. Century 21, Inc. · filed 2001-05-11(e)(1)

Ordinarily, indeed, failures to promote are discrete acts that do not give rise to a “continuing violation.” ... Accordingly, while plaintiff may still seek discovery regarding the alleged incidents that occurred before January 12, 1999 as bearing on the issue of intent, he may not premise liability itself on any such incident or seek to recover damages with respect to it.

Truax v. City of Portsmouth · filed 2001-06-18(e)(1)

Title VII’s requirement that complainants file a timely charge with the EEOC and/or the appropriate state agency does not create a jurisdictional bar to filing a suit in federal court.

Section 2000e-5(e) requires an EEOC complaint within 300 days of the acts supporting a Title VII claim; earlier events may still provide context for a timely claim.

Turnbull v. Topeka State Hospital · filed 2001-07-05(e)

Title VII provides that an employee must file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission within three hundred days of the acts about which she complains. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e). ... It is undisputed that the attack itself took place within the statutory time period. Because the attack itself is sufficient to support a claim for sexual harassment and Dr. Turnbull does not specify other incidents as bases for her claim, we treat the attack as a single incident of harassment. However, we examine other events in the record to determine the general environment at the hospital, whether TSH was on notice of employee sexual harassment concerns, and whether the hospital took reasonable measures to ensure the safety of its employees.

Law changed since National Railroad Passenger Corp. v.

Law changed since National Railroad Passenger Corp. v. Morgan (June 10, 2002) held that earlier related hostile-environment acts may be considered when one contributing act falls within the charge period; prior awareness of harassment alone does not bar the older acts.

In a deferral jurisdiction, the 300-day charge-filing period is not extended by a continuing violation when the employee knew of the earlier discrimination as it occurred.

Montes v. Cooperativa De Seguros Multiples De Puerto Rico · filed 2001-09-28(e)(1)

However, “[e]ven where the plaintiff alleges a violation within the appropriate statute of limitations period, the continuing violation claim will fail if the plaintiff was or should have been aware that [s]he was being unlawfully discriminated against while the earlier acts, now untimely, were taking place.” ...

Law changed since National Railroad Passenger Corp. v. Morgan (June 10, 2002) held that related hostile-environment acts may be considered when one contributing act is timely, without requiring a separate discriminatory policy; discrete acts still need timely charges.

Section 2000e-5(e)(1) generally limits recovery to conduct within 300 days before an EEOC charge; the continuing violation exception requires a specific discriminatory policy or related acts amounting to one.

Weeks v. New York State (Division of Parole) & Patrick Hoy · filed 2001-10-31(e)(1)

Title VII permits recovery in cases such as this only for discriminatory conduct that occurred within 300 days of the plaintiffs filing of a complaint with the EEOC. ...

Law changed since National Railroad Passenger Corp. v. Morgan (June 10, 2002) limits this related-acts approach: a timely act does not revive earlier discrete employment decisions, though a timely contributing act can permit consideration of a related hostile work environment.

Hess v. Multnomah County · filed 2001-12-07(e)(1)

Smith v. UAW-GM Legal Services Plan · filed 2002-10-04(e)(1)

To support her argument that she was the victim of a continuous and ongoing hostile work environment up through the 300-day window, Smith offered evidence of an isolated telephone call from a coworker communicating an earlier racist comment and warning Smith not to return to work because others might treat her badly. We agree with the district court that this evidence is not capable of establishing discriminatory policies or mechanisms of the Plan. It is insufficient to overcome a motion of summary judgement on the theory of a continuous and ongoing hostile work environment.

McDougal-Wilson v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. · filed 2006-03-31(e)(1)

In order for a court to permit a party pursuing a hostile work environment claim to reach beyond the charge-filing period (e.g., the 180-day period applicable in this case), the court must examine whether the acts beyond the filing period are component acts of a single hostile work environment claim.
