Employment Claim in Utah

In Utah, an employment discrimination or retaliatory discharge claim must be filed within 180 days of the alleged violation. This deadline is set under Utah Code § 34A-5-106, which governs the Utah Antidiscrimination Act. The 180-day period begins when the aggrieved individual knows or should know of the discriminatory act. The statute also establishes the administrative process for filing a charge with the Utah Labor Commission. Exceptions and specific filing procedures are outlined in the statute itself. The worked example below illustrates how the 180-day timeline applies in practice. For an estimate tailored to your particular dates and circumstances, use the DocketMath calculator.
