Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file an employment claim in Missouri?
For most discrimination claims under the Missouri Human Rights Act, you must file with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights within 180 days of the incident. For federal claims under Title VII, you have 300 days to file with the EEOC. Deadlines vary by claim type, so act promptly.
Can I be fired for no reason in Missouri?
Yes, Missouri 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, gender, or religion, or for engaging in protected activities like reporting workplace safety violations.
What damages can I recover in a Missouri employment lawsuit?
You may recover back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, and attorney fees. Under the Missouri Human Rights Act, compensatory and punitive damages are capped based on employer size, ranging from 50,000 to 300,000 dollars.
