Delaware Employment Discrimination Claim Filing Deadline 120 Days

In Delaware, an employment discrimination claim must be filed with the appropriate agency within 120 days of the alleged unlawful practice. This time limit is set by 19 Del. C. § 711, which governs the procedure for bringing such claims under state law. The 120-day period begins to run from the date the alleged discriminatory act occurred. The statute outlines the filing process and provides exceptions to the general rule. A worked example below demonstrates how the 120-day deadline applies in a typical scenario.
