Local Yacht Club Sails Free of Harassment Claim

As many employers know, before any litigation can be filed in court, the employee must first file a timely charge of discrimination with the EEOC or appropriate state or local agency. In Maryland, like many other deferral states, the employee generally has 300 days from the date of the alleged improper action to file such a charge. If the charge is filed beyond the 300-day period, the charge would be untimely and bar any subsequent court action concerning those claims. A recent decision from the Federal District Court in Maryland highlights the need for an employee to meet these time requirements or face dismissal of the claims.
