Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file an employment lawsuit in Virginia?
For most employment discrimination claims under state law, you have 180 days to file with the Virginia Council on Human Rights. For federal claims under Title VII, you generally have 300 days to file with the EEOC. Wage claims under the Virginia Overtime Wage Act have a three-year statute of limitations.
Can I be fired for no reason in Hampton, 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, termination is illegal if it is based on discrimination, retaliation, or breach of an employment contract. An employment lawyer can help determine if your firing was unlawful.
What damages can I recover in a Virginia employment case?
In Virginia, you may recover back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, and attorneys fees. For wage claims under the Virginia Overtime Wage Act, you can recover unpaid wages plus an equal amount in liquidated damages. Punitive damages are limited in employment cases under state law.
