DFEH Investigation Timeline

Answer:

We recently received a call from a potential client, who worked in Los Angeles County, who felt that he was discriminated against in the workplace. A question came up that often comes up, and that’s how long he had to file a claim. Generally speaking, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, or the DFEH, requires an employee to file a complaint with them or to obtain a right-to-sue letter within three years of the adverse action. It’s important to have an attorney that knows these deadlines.
