Employment Discrimination - How Far Should We Go Back for Lawsuits?

NYS' Senate passed a bill, S345, on February 28, 2024, that would change the look-back period (a/k/a, statute of limitations) for employment discrimination in the State from 3 years to 6 years. 


Under Title VII, federally, employees only have 300 days to bring claims so moving the deadline for state claims from 3 years to 6 years would be huge.


How long is the right period that employees should be able to sue for employment discrimination? 


Do you think the Assembly should pass this bill or let it die like they did last time around?

Statute of Limitations Tolled until August 5, 2020 by Executive Order

Governor Cuomo signed Executive Order 202.48 which extends most Executive Orders due to the coronavirus pandemic. Among others, Executive Order 202.48 specifically extends the tolling of statute of limitations until August 5, 2020 as provided by Executive Order 202.28. As we’ve previously noted in our blog, the Executive Order does not toll all deadlines in pending and ongoing actions. A copy of Executive Order 202.48 and 202.28 can be found HERE and HERE.

Stay tuned to our blog for changes to the current commercial eviction landscape pursuant to Executive Order 202.48.
