Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A complaint can be filed with the EEOC within 300 days of the occurrence of the act of discrimination. This timeframe applies if the state or local agency also enforces a law that prohibits employment discrimination on the same basis. If not, the deadline is 180 days. The requirement for a company to be registered with the EEOC, immediate transfer to district court, or the necessity to file with a state or local agency first are not accurate stipulations for filing with the EEOC.
