Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file an employment claim in New Orleans?
For discrimination claims under Louisiana law, you generally have 180 days to file with the Louisiana Commission on Human Rights. For federal claims under Title VII, the deadline is 300 days. Wage claims under Louisiana law must be filed within one year.
Does Louisiana law protect against at-will termination?
Louisiana is an at-will employment state, meaning an employer can fire you for any reason that is not illegal. However, you are protected from termination based on race, gender, age, disability, or retaliation for reporting violations. An employment lawyer can help determine if your firing was unlawful.
