Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file an employment lawsuit in Michigan?
For most discrimination claims under Michigan law, you have 180 days to file a charge with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. For federal claims under Title VII, you generally have 300 days. Wage claims under the Michigan Payment of Wages Act have a 3-year limit.
Can I be fired without cause in Michigan?
Michigan 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 based on race, gender, age, or other protected classes, or for retaliation after reporting illegal activity.
What damages can I recover in a Michigan employment case?
You may recover back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, and attorney fees. In discrimination cases, Michigan law also allows for punitive damages in some situations. Wage claims can recover unpaid wages plus penalties.
