Sexual Orientation Discrimination: Statute of Limitations

The United States Federal government has not ruled that discrimination for sexual orientation warrants anti-discrimination laws. Therefore, it is up to the individual states to address this issue in their own governments. So far, the only state with anti-discrimination law preventing sexual orientation is California.

One of the major factors about many types of discrimination is the statute of limitations on the accusation. In California, according to the state’s established anti-sexual orientation discrimination laws, the statute of limitations on accusation is 30 days. The accuser has only 30 days to notify the California Labor Commission of discrimination in his or her workplace. The person cannot bring a lawsuit against their employer for sexual orientation discrimination until the person has notified the California Labor Commission of the problem. If the accusation is not brought to the attention of the California Labor Commission within 30 days, it cannot be considered for legal action.
