CAN I STILL FILE A COMPLAINT 0R LAWSUIT AGAINST MY EX EMPLOYER EVEN TH0UGH IT HAPPENED LAST 0CTOBER?

Question

I GOT FIRED FROM MY JOB IN OCT 0F 2007 CAN I STILL FILE A COMPLAINT? AND WHERE WOULD I FILE IT AT?

Answer 1

Check the statute of limitations in your state.  Why were you fired?  There isn't enough information here to answer your appropriately.  

Answer 2

10 months ? I wouldn't bother.  There's a 99.9% chance you'll lose any law suit(s). Law suits cost money. And after almost a year, no-one is going to take your case.

Look in the yellow pages under labor board, or something close to it. You can do it on-line...

But don't expect anything.

Answer 3

You may not have a case unless you can prove discrimination, harassment or something like that.  Some states allow an employer to fire employees at will.  That means that s/he doesn't really need a reason to fire you.  Try asking for advice at Len Tillem's website, lentillem.com.  There is no charge for one question.

Answer 4

In most states, employment is "at will". As such, they can fire you at any time, with or with out notice for almost any reason.

Answer 5

Lawsuit you have two years to file, so you're fine there.  Filing a complaint with  the Dept of Labor usually has to be done within a year in most jurisidictions, get in touch with them and find out for sure.

Answer 6

Check with a lawyer, depending on the reasons, the statue of limitations is generally a couple of years. Of course it could end up costing you more then you could get for it, depending on lawyer fees ect.
