National legislation together with individual state statutes restrict exactly how long an individual can file suit following an offense.
Wrongful discharge incidents normally see three categories of claims, each one falling under unique statute of limitations. Being conscious of these time restrictions is significant, seeing that litigation might be dismissed if started later.
The Connecticut statute (law) of limitations on labor claims is the Connecticut General Statutes § 52-575 et seq.
