Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file an employment discrimination claim in Iowa?
Under the Iowa Civil Rights Act you must file a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission within 300 days of the alleged discriminatory act. For federal claims under Title VII the deadline is also 300 days in Iowa. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
Can I be fired for no reason in Ankeny Iowa?
Yes because Iowa is an at-will employment state meaning an employer can terminate you for any reason or no reason as long as it is not illegal. Illegal reasons include discrimination retaliation or violation of a specific contract. An employment lawyer can help determine if your termination was unlawful.
