Employment Claim in Michigan

Under Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, an employee claiming unlawful employment discrimination has 1095 days from the alleged violation to file a civil action. This statute of limitations is set by Mich. Comp. Laws § 37.2202, which governs unlawful employment practices in the state. The 1095-day period, equivalent to three years, starts on the date the discriminatory act occurred or, in cases of continuing violations, on the last date of the alleged conduct. The law does not require a prior administrative charge, so the 1095-day clock runs directly from the incident. The example below illustrates how this timeframe applies in a typical scenario. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your filing deadline under this rule.
