Question

Lisa believes she has been discriminated against by her employer and intends to file charges with the EEOC. Lisa must file the discrimination charges within ________ days of the alleged act; however, the time is extended to ________ days if a state or local agency becomes involved in the case.

Answer 1

Answer:

180 , 300

Explanation:

U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is a federal agency. It looks into cases of  workplace discrimination.  

One needs to file a charge within 180 days from the date when discrimination took place.

If a similar law against discrimination is also enforces by local or state agency then the deadline can extend upto 300 days.

EEOC often offers mediation to settle differences between the employee and the employer, the situation can get bit awkward if you file a discrimination complain while you are still employed.
