Whistleblower Retaliation Statute Of Limitations in Michigan

Under the Michigan whistleblower retaliation statute, the time limit for filing a claim is governed by MCL § 600.5813. This law establishes a three-year limitation period for bringing a civil action based on an alleged retaliatory discharge or adverse employment action. The three-year clock begins to run from the date the retaliatory act occurs, as defined under the controlling statute. The worked example below demonstrates how this three-year period is calculated from a given triggering event. Additional factors, exceptions, or procedural requirements may apply, and the official legislative source contains the complete statutory language. For an estimate of how this limitation period applies to a specific set of facts, the DocketMath calculator can generate a tailored result.
