What is the time limit to file an employment claim in Tennessee?
For discrimination claims under the Tennessee Human Rights Act you have 300 days from the date of the alleged violation to file a charge with the Tennessee Division of Human Rights. For federal claims under Title VII the deadline is 300 days as well. Wage claims under the Tennessee Wage Payment Act must be filed within one year.
Can I be fired for no reason in Oak Ridge Tennessee?
Yes Tennessee is an at-will employment state meaning an employer can terminate you for any reason or no reason at all. However termination cannot be based on illegal discrimination retaliation for reporting violations or in violation of an employment contract. An employment lawyer can review your situation to see if an exception applies.
What damages can I recover in a Tennessee employment lawsuit?
You may recover back pay front pay emotional distress damages and attorney fees. Under the Tennessee Human Rights Act compensatory and punitive damages are capped based on employer size. For wage claims you can recover unpaid wages plus liquidated damages equal to the unpaid amount.
