Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a discrimination claim in Virginia?
In Virginia you have 180 days to file a charge with the EEOC or the Virginia Division of Human Rights. This deadline is shorter than the federal 300 day limit for some states. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
Can I be fired for no reason in Virginia?
Virginia is an at will employment state meaning you can be fired for any reason that is not illegal. However you cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons like race or gender or for retaliation after reporting a violation. An employment lawyer can review your situation.
