Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a discrimination claim in Kentucky?
In Kentucky you must file a charge of discrimination with the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights within 180 days of the alleged act. This deadline is shorter than the federal 300-day limit for some claims. Missing this deadline can bar your case.
Can I be fired for any reason in Kentucky?
Kentucky is an at-will employment state meaning an employer can fire you for any reason that is not illegal. However you cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons like race or gender or in retaliation for reporting a violation. You also cannot be fired for exercising a legal right like filing for workers compensation.
