Why quick action matters in California
California employment claims have deadlines that vary by claim type. Many discrimination and harassment claims require first filing with a state agency, and wage claims have their own time limits — some of them short. Acting promptly protects your rights. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
