Employment Claim in Hawaii

Under Hawaii law, a claim under Haw. Rev. Stat. § 378-2 must be filed within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory act. This 180-day window functions as a statute of limitations, meaning the claim is time-barred if submitted after that period expires. The statute sets out the specific unlawful discriminatory practices prohibited in employment, including the conditions and exceptions that apply. The official source at the Hawaii State Legislature website contains the full language of the rule. The worked example below demonstrates how the filing deadline is calculated. Use the DocketMath calculator to determine whether your own filing date falls within this 180-day limit.
