Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline to file an employment lawsuit in Hattiesburg Mississippi?
For most federal claims like discrimination under Title VII you must file a charge with the EEOC within 180 days of the incident. Mississippi does not have its own fair employment practices agency so the deadline is 180 days not 300. For wage claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act the statute of limitations is generally two years or three years for willful violations.
Can I be fired for any reason in Mississippi?
Mississippi follows at-will employment meaning an employer can terminate you for any reason or no reason as long as it is not illegal. Illegal reasons include discrimination based on race gender religion age or disability or retaliation for reporting illegal activity or filing a workers compensation claim. An employment lawyer can help determine if your termination violated state or federal law.
