Basically, you have 360 days to file your claim with the EEOC or the NYS Division of Human Rights. You can also file with the NYC Commission on Human Rights.

That claim probably will not get you anywhere. You do not have a property right to a job and unless there is a union contract or it is a government job, I doubt that you would prevail, even if the statute of limitations has not run.

Yes, but it depends on the kind of wrongful termination claim and State in which the claim arises. It is best to contact an employment attorney to obtain accurate information for any potential statute of limitations for any wrongful termination claim.

The statute of limitations depends on which kind of wrongful termination case you have. In California, the limitations period is usually 1 or 2 years, but it can be as short as 30 days if you worked for certain government entities. You should talk right away with a local attorney who specializes in wrongful termination cases.

Since there are no wrongful termination actions allowed in GA, therefore, there are no statute of limitations on this in GA.

There is no such a thing as wrongful termination in New York unless there was a contract or some sort of discrimination.
