Employment Claim in New York

Under New York law, an employment discrimination claim must be filed within 1095 days of the alleged unlawful practice. This deadline is set by N.Y. Exec. Law § 296, which governs workplace discrimination based on protected characteristics. The 1095-day period, equivalent to three years, begins running from the date of the last discriminatory act. The statute provides the legal framework for prohibited conduct by employers and sets out factors for determining liability. The worked example below illustrates how the 1095-day rule applies in a typical scenario. For an estimate of how this deadline may affect your situation, use the DocketMath calculator.
