How long does someone have to have a wrongful termination case tried by an attorney?

Answered 6 years and 6 months ago by Thomas Alan Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Wrongful Termination
I have to give you a classic lawyer's answer: it depends. Not every terminaion is "wrongful," and in order for a "wrongful" termination to also be something you can pursue in court, it also has to be unlawful (that is, in violation of some law). And, each law has its own "statute of limitations," which is the time limit a person has to challenge the termination in court. For example, if your termination was "wrongful" because it was unlawful discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act, the deadline would be one year from the termination. If it was unlawful discrimination under Title VII of the the federal Civil Rights Act, it could be 180 or 300 days form the termination. If it was a breach of employment contract, it could be as long as two years. There are other legal claims where the time limit could be up to six years. In addition, each state has its own statutes of limitation, so the answer also depends in part on where you were employed.... Read More

If they are worried, they must have identified a possible basis.  Seek an employment lawyer who represents employees or tell the reasons more completely so I can respond.
