Employment Claim in New Mexico

Under New Mexico’s Human Rights Act, an employment discrimination claim must be filed within 300 days of the alleged unlawful act. This filing deadline is set by NMSA 1978 § 28-1-7, which governs all claims based on protected class status, retaliation, or other prohibited employment practices under the Act. The 300-day period begins on the date the discriminatory act occurred. The statute also provides specific exceptions that may extend or alter the deadline in certain circumstances, but those details are fully outlined in the official source.
