Employment Claim in Montana

Under Montana law, a claim for employment discrimination must be filed with the Montana Human Rights Bureau within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory act. This filing deadline is set by Mont. Code Ann. § 49-2-303, which governs the procedure for bringing a cause of action under the Montana Human Rights Act. The 180-day period begins to run from the date the employee knew or should have known of the discriminatory action. The statute also requires the bureau to investigate the claim and may provide for administrative remedies. For the exact terms of the rule, including any exceptions or procedural details, the official source at the Montana Legislature website contains the full statutory language. The calculator below can estimate how the 180-day deadline applies to a specific set of dates.
