What types of cases do employment lawyers handle in Wilmington?
They handle cases involving wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, wage and hour disputes, and retaliation. North Carolina law also covers unpaid wages and severance agreements.
How long do I have to file a discrimination claim in North Carolina?
You must file a charge with the EEOC or the North Carolina Human Relations Commission within 180 days of the incident. For federal claims under Title VII, the deadline is 300 days if a state agency also covers the claim.
