Employment Claim in Kentucky

Under Kentucky law, an employment discrimination claim must be filed with the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights within 180 days of the alleged unlawful act. This filing deadline is set by Ky. Rev. Stat. § 344.040, which governs unlawful employment practices in the state. The 180-day period begins on the date the discriminatory act occurred, not when the employee discovers the harm. The statute also outlines who may bring a claim and what constitutes a prohibited practice. For the full list of specific factors, exceptions, and procedural details, the official source provides the exact statutory language. The worked example below demonstrates how the 180-day rule applies to a typical timeline. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate whether your own potential claim falls within this filing window.
