Section 2000e-5(e)(1) allows 300 days to file an EEOC charge when a worksharing agreement automatically initiates state proceedings and waives the state agency’s initial processing period.

Climmons Jones, Jr. v. Federal Express Corp. · filed 2020-03-12(e)(1)

The terms of that agreement operated to make the 300-day, rather than the 180-day, period of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) the applicable filing window, thus establishing that Jones timely filed on day 252.

Section 2000e-5(e)(1) bars claims based on discrete acts outside the charge-filing period, but earlier conduct may contribute to a hostile work environment claim if a contributing act occurred within that period.

Butrum v. Louisville Metropolitan Government · filed 2020-03-13(e)(1)

Williams’ alleged acts were not asserted during the statutory period and are barred by the statute of limitations.
