Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a discrimination claim in Virginia?
For claims under the Virginia Human Rights Act, you must file with the Virginia Division of Human Rights within 300 days of the alleged violation. For federal claims under Title VII, the deadline is also 300 days. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
Can I be fired for no reason in Virginia?
Virginia is an at-will employment state, meaning an employer can fire you for any reason or no reason, unless it violates a specific law. However, you cannot be fired based on race, sex, religion, disability, or for reporting illegal activity. An employment lawyer can help determine if your termination was unlawful.
Does Virginia law require overtime pay?
Yes, the Virginia Overtime Wage Act requires employers to pay non-exempt employees 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. This law applies to most private employers in Virginia and provides stronger protections than federal law in some cases.
